====== BITMAP property ======


 
==== Applies To ====
 
Bitmap, checkbmp, pushbmp, edit table, tab control
 
==== 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:

<code>
Set_Property(CtrlEntID, "BITMAP", "my.dll#17")
Set_Property(CtrlEntID, "BITMAP", "my.exe#PrettyPicture")
</code>

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.

<code>
Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"SELPOS",selpos)

Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"BITMAP",bitmap)
</code>
 

To display a bitmap in an edittable cell, set the ACCESSPOS property and then set the BITMAP property.

<code>
Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"ACCESSPOS",3:@fm:1)

Set_Property(CtrlEntID,"BITMAP",bitmap)
</code>
