Where _VR(IDB_CITY) is C++-eese for the variant reference to the "...bitmap ID saved in the resource of your project. You can use "Resource-on-the-Fly" technology to add or select bitmap resource in your project" (http://www.capitolsoft.com/Articles/Using_Imagelist_Control.htm). Does anyone know how to get this _VR(IDB_OPEN) passed in VFP?
