Here is an example of a function

FUNCTION bmp_display(description)
DEFINE description LIKE stock.description
DEFINE bmp_file char(30)
DEFINE curwin char(18)
LET bmp_file = bmp_lookup(description)
IF bmp_file IS NOT NULL THEN
Let curwin = window::getoption(&quot;name&quot
CALL bmp_openwin()
DISPLAY bmp_file to bmpfld
CALL window::current(curwin)
ELSE
CALL bmp_closewin()
END IF
END FUNCTION [bmp_display}

Here is how on a Form

DATABASE FORMONLY
SCREEN
{
[f1 ]





}
ATTRIBUTES
f1 = FORMONLY.bmpfld, WIDGET = &quot;BMP&quot;;
END
