Description
Get_Property returns the path to the picture file; Set_Property sets the path and whether the bitmap should be transparent.
Usage
path = Get_Property (bitmapcontrolname, " BITMAP ")
path = Set_Property (bitmapcontrolname, " BITMAP ", pathtofile [: @vm : bTransparencyFlag] )
Remarks
The BITMAP control supports .BMP, .ICO, .GIF, and .PCX file formats.
To display a bitmap stored as a resource in a .DLL or .EXE file, set the BITMAP property to the name of the file, a pound sign (#), and the resource ID. Resources can be referenced by name or by number; for example:
Set_Property(CtrlEntID, "BITMAP", "my.dll#17") Set_Property(CtrlEntID, "BITMAP", "my.exe#PrettyPicture")
Note: When setting the BITMAP property within an edittable either the SELPOS or ACCESSPOS property must be set prior to the BITMAP Set_Property call.
To display a bitmap in an edittable cell, set the SELPOS property and then set the BITMAP property.
Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"SELPOS",selpos) Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"BITMAP",bitmap)
To display a bitmap in an edittable cell, set the ACCESSPOS property and then set the BITMAP property.
Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"ACCESSPOS",3:@fm:1) Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"BITMAP",bitmap)
