Description

The Picture.Handle property lets you obtain the handle of the image represented by the Picture object. A handle is an integer that Microsoft Windows uses to identify a window or another object, such as a font or bitmap. The handle of a window or object remains the same for the lifetime of the window (object). If you save the bitmap handle to a variable, you will be able to obtain the bitmap by its handle unless the bitmap is destroyed or recreated by that moment.

  var Pict = Utils.Picture;
  Pict.LoadFromFile("D:\\Data\\my_image.png");

  // Posts the handle of an image to the log

  // Saves the image to the clipboard
  Pict1.SaveToClipboard();

  // Retrieves the data from the clipboard and posts it to the log

}

Python

def Test():
  Pict = Utils.Picture
  Pict.LoadFromFile("D:\\Data\\my_image.png")
  # Posts the handle of an image to the log
  Log.Message(Pict.Handle)

  Pict.SaveToClipboard()
  # Retrieves the data from the clipboard and posts it to the log
  Log.Picture(Sys.Clipboard)

  Pict.LoadFromFile('D:\Data\my_image.png');

  // Posts the handle of an image to the log
