Parameters
Return
The method returns a logical value. If the XbpMetaFile object was initialized, the value .T. (true) is returned. In case of an error, :setIPicture()returns .F. (false).
Description
ActiveX components and controls use IPicture COM objects to manage images of various formats. When working with COM/ActiveX objects, an Xbase++ application may have to manipulate images, either stored in COM/ActiveX properties or returned by method calls. In both cases, the image is usually returned as an AutomationObject() connected to an IPicture COM/ActiveX interface. In order to use the image returned with Xbase Parts or the Graphics Engine, the image must be specified as an XbpBitmap() or XbpMetaFile() object.
Method :setIPicture() initializes an XbpMetaFile object with image data from an IPicture COM/ActiveX interface. It provides a convenient way to obtain the metafile maintained by a IPicture COM/ActiveX interface.
