BlobFormat property (WinStudio scripts)

Applies To

IWSFormComponent interface

Definition

Gets or sets a string value indicating the type of binary data associated with that component.

Get Syntax

object.BlobFormat

Part	Description
`object`	Required. A reference to a form component object.

Set Syntax

object.BlobFormat = string

Part	Description
`object`	Required. A reference to a form component object.
`string`	Required. A reference to the binary data type to be associated with the designated form component object.

Remarks

This string value typically represents a file type such as BMP, PNG, JPG, DLL, or EXE, which you can access to know what type of file to import, export, and/or create and execute when processing or presenting the contained binary data.

The Set syntax resets the binary data type associated with the component and displays the new value in the [Binary Data] field of the [C] [omponent] property sheet. Essentially, using the Set syntax amounts to the same thing as changing the value in the [Binary Data] field of the property sheet.

Example

Sub Main()
   Application.ShowMessage("The binary data type is: " _
      & ThisForm.Components("button2").BlobFormat)
   ThisForm.Components("button2").BlobFormat = "PNG"
   Application.ShowMessage("The binary data type has been changed to: " _
      & ThisForm.Components("button2").BlobFormat)
End Sub
