 GET PICTURE FROM LIBRARY($vlPicRef;vgMyPicture)

Example 2

The following example returns in $DDcom_Prot_MyPicture the picture with the name "DDcom_Prot_Button1" stored in the Picture Library:

 GET PICTURE FROM LIBRARY("DDcom_Prot_Button1";$DDcom_Prot_MyPicture)

Example 3

System variables and sets

If the Picture Library exists, the OK variable is set to 1. Otherwise, OK is set to zero.

Error management

If there is not enough memory to return the picture, an error -108 is generated. You can catch this error using an error-handling method.
