graphics in dll

[vanni75]

Hi,

is it possible to store graphics into a dll compiled in VFP. Is it possible to use them in an other program?

thx

I would have to test for sure but I would ASSUME you could store the graphics in to a general field in a dbf then INCLUDE the dbf and fpt files into the project build the dll. If I am correct in my thinking by INCLUDING the files they get built into the dll and would be available at runtime [read-only].

Vanni,
I agree you could store them, but it couldn't directly display then, since this is a limitation of a VFP COM DLL (no UI!). I suppose you could return the image data from the DLL and have the calling application display it though.

you could include a method that would write the image to disk and return the full path to display.
