In my practice,image files are individual file rather than saved in General field of VFP.For 3 reasons.
- Saves disk space
- Minimize the risk of file corrupt of FPT file as file getting bigger
- I don't need in place editing of OLE
OK,back to your question.
You first place ImageEdit control in the form
THISFORM.ImageEdit.IMAGE = "Your file name here"
THISFORM.ImageEdit.FITTO(0)
THISFORM.ImageEdit.DISAPLY
THISFORM.ImageEdit.REFRESH
I recommend using Windows NT be your operating system to handling tones of Image file.
