WINDOW PICTURE
[edit | edit source]Syntax
[edit | edit source]WINDOW PICTURE [#]windowID,pictHandle&
Description
[edit | edit source]This statement "attaches" the picture whose handle is pictHandle& to the window specified by windowID. The picture is refreshed automatically as necessary, and all _wndRefreshDIALOG events for the window are inhibited. This is sometimes useful when you want to display a window which shows nothing but a single unchanging picture. However, because _wndRefresh events are inhibited, it makes it difficult to maintain other kinds of contents in the window. It's generally more useful to use the PICTURE FIELD statement instead.
Note
[edit | edit source]You must not dispose or release the picture in pictHandle& until you first either close the window (using WINDOW CLOSE), or detach the picture from the window. You can detach the picture either by explicitly attaching a different picture, or by executing the following:
WINDOW PICTURE [#]windowID, _nil
