Use a BLOB as Wallpaper

How to use a BLOB as wallpaper, today I use BLOBTOFILE to save the file in the root of the app, but I wish I didn’t have to, I tried something with VAR:Image{PROP:Handle}, but I wasn’t successful

Check out PROP:ImageBlob

It doesn’t work…

PROP:ImageBlob is for an IMAGE() control. While Wall Paper is some kind of Image it does not seem to work like an Image() control. I would guess it creates an Image control in the Frame Client area then assigns it the file. Maybe you can find that image control using Spy++.

I think on IceTips there was example Win API code for writing an image in the Client Area of the MDI Frame. Maybe that code could be adapted to be used with a Blob.

I could only find this article on setting the Frame Background to a solid color.
