Property String Bitmap
| Access Type | Syntax |

| Write Access: | Set Bitmap to StringVariable/Value |
Description
The Bitmap message will display a bitmap in an object. In other words, the bitmap becomes the background of the object. Bitmap_Style determines how and where the bitmap will display in the object.
There are two potential drawbacks to using bitmaps: the amount of storage (on disk) , and the constant memory consumption.
Sample
This sample sets the bitmap to "MyBitmap.bmp".
set Bitmap to "MyBitmap.bmp"

| Note: | In order to make a cohesive application, DataFlex must find the .EXE file and the .bmp (bitmap) file, by using DFPATH. |
DataFlex supports transparency for bitmaps using the /t and /3d flags:
set Bitmap to "MyBitmap.bmp/3d/t"
Please see Programming for Transparency for more information.
