I am trying to write a screen capture app . In the program when the screen is captured it gets saved in a .mbm format . The program then opens that file and encodes it in a format that is read from a file located on disk . The problem is that say for example I try to convert the .mbm file to a gif format or whetever other format for that matter, it does get converted but the .gif file does not show the actual image.
Below is my code and Ill really appreciate it if you could suggest any corrections in my code . If you need to look at some more code of mine to solve the problem Ill be glad to share that.


Thanks a lot :)

_LIT(KFormatGif,"GIF");

TBuf8 <4> gif ;

gif.Copy(KFormatGif);

void CMyAppContainer::ConstructL(const TRect& aRect)
{
    CreateWindowL();
    SetRect(aRect);
    InitComponentsL();
    ActivateL();

    iConverter = CMdaImageFileToBitmapUtility::NewL(*this);

    iFileSaver = CMdaImageBitmapToFileUtility::NewL(*this);
        
           
        


}


void CMyAppContainer::EncodeImage()
{


	//Read the required format from the file

	...

	...

	//If the format is GIF encode for GIF


	if(buf.Compare(gif) == 0) //Encode the image as gif
	{

          

           targetfilename.Append(_L(".gif"));
                    
           iConverter->OpenL(FileFullName);
                              
           iConvertState = EConvertStateReady ;
                 
           SaveL(); 

           ShowConfirmation(_L("Screen has been saved in the images folder")); 

//ShowConfirmation() shows a global message containing the text of its parameter.
           
           iConverter->Close();
