Good in VC++????

well... I'm not...

Hi guys. I don't know anything about Visual C++ (in fact I just got the Sams Teach yourself Visual C++ in 21 days book yesterday ... so ...

) but still I need to add into the menu a Save function (you know in the File -- Save, etc) that saves the contents in the form of a Tiff file. It is that some company shipped us this software (for image acquisition) and it works great for just one camera. But we have two of them and their software didn't allow the use of two cameras. We contacted them and they sent us source code to build the software to use 2 cameras but it doesn't have a save function. We contacted them again and they still have not responded. So we are trying to see if we can add this by ourselves. So.. first question:

Is it way difficult to add this seeing that I know squat?
Could you guys help me in some way?

If you want to help or if you are up to the challenge:

Here is a zip file with the executables working and the source codes. If you can help me, it will be great. Also, if you want to learn about the company or the camera :

Thanks a bunch.. I really need your help.!!

I've been reading some things and I think it is easy to add a save button to the toolbar and all that stuff but about actually implementing it..... I'm just lost.!

I have been trying to add the Save thingie to the Menu but I still can't do it.

First thing I want to do is this since it is the "Easiest" part : (just creating a Save button and see if when you click on it, it works). Then I will worry about tiff.!!

Any help is appreciated.!

OK.. SO at last I could add a Save to the Menu Toolbar and the program is recognizing it. Also, I made a message box so that when the user clicks on the Save button, the message will appear (instead of a box that asks where do you want to save the file!

).

Now I got to struggle with saving to Tiff!!!! Anyone?
