My comment:

The LoadImage function, being supplied with a valid bitmap file name, loads this file into the corresponding Bitmap structures and returns a Bitmap handle.

After that the handle can be used for displaying this Bitmap on various devices (the display, the available printers etc.) as well as for manipulating with its data using other Gdi32 functions.

With little changes this code can be used for printing bitmap files.

Notice that the image displayed on the main VFP form is not "fixed", as it is when the _SCREEN property used.
