Binary Format
This attribute specifies the format type for a component that uses the BINARY data type. With push button, static, and tree components, the system dynamically builds and displays supported format types stored in the property data. This table shows some of the most common supported formats.
| Binary Data Format | Description and Extension |
|---|---|
| BMP | Bitmap (*.bmp) |
| EMF | Windows Enhanced Metafile Format (*.emf) |
| EXIF | Exchangeable Image File Format (*.exif) |
| GIF | Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif) |
| ICON | Icon format (*.ico) |
| JPEG | Joint Photographic Experts Group format (*.jpg) |
| PNG | Portable Network Graphics format (*.png) |
| SVG | Scalable Vector Graphics format (*.svg) |
| TIFF | Tagged Image File Format (*.tif) |
| WMF | Windows Metafile Format (*.wmf) |
| XSL | Extensible Stylesheet Language (*.xsl) |
Note: You can use other BLOB types as well. The main thing to know about this
field/attribute is that you can only specify one binary data type per object property; and,
if a property is defined as BINARY data, you must specify a format in this field.
