Purpose

To load a bitmap from a DBF field.

Syntax

<oDIBMP>:LoadDIBFromField(xField, [xAlias]) lSuccess                                (LOGIC)

Arguments

xField

The field containing the bitmap (character name or numeric position).

xAlias

Optional. The alias where the field is located (character, numeric or DBServer).  The default is the current area.

Description

This method loads a bitmap from a DBF field.  The field must contain a BITMAPFILEHEADER structure or it is ignored.

 

The BITMAPFILEHEADER structure is a standard Windows structure.  Please refer to the Windows SDK reference for more information.

 

Due to the 64K size limit of strings in a 16 bit application, the size of a bitmap loaded via this method must be less than 64K when using the RP2/16 runtime.

Example

// Load a bitmap from a field

oDIBMP:LoadDIBFromField("BMPField")
