[solved]Usage of imported Bitmaps

ta5

From w1w1adg.pdf, page 277:

..."The bitmap is actually imported, so you don't need external files for your
application. But if you change the bitmap during development, you must update the imported copy."...

Some question about these imported bitmaps:
1) In what table are they stored?
2) Why is the number of them limited to 45 (number range 0 to 44)?

Thanks in advance

1) They are part of the object definition i think...
2) If you mean the Bitmap = n - it is used when you want to use internal bitmaps, which are part of fin.exe and finsql.exe resources. These internal bitmaps are not connected to the part from the documentation you quoted.

All is just about that: if you add Bitmap to your form and into Bitmap property you enter bitmap file name, in time of compilation the bitmap is read into the object definition and is stored there. After that, you do not need the bitmap to be present on client, where you are using this object. You do not need th ebitmap even if you are modifying the form. You need to have the bitmap just in case when you import the object from text file and you are saving it for the first time or just when you added new bitmap control on th form.
