Imports a binary large object (BLOB).

[ImportName] := Blob.IMPORT([Name [, CommonDialog]])

Parameters

Blob

Type: Variable

The BLOB that you want to import.

Name

Type: Text or code

The path and name of the BLOB that you want to import.

When you enter the path, keep in mind the following shortcuts:

  • You can omit the drive letter if the command is located on the current drive.

  • You can omit the full path if the command is located in the current directory.

  • You can enter only the subdirectory name if the command is located in a subdirectory of the current directory.

CommonDialog

Type: Boolean

Specifies whether you want to display an import dialog box before the BLOB is imported. This dialog box lets you select the file that you want to import. Based on the SubType Property, only the appropriate file types are listed, such as bitmap files (*.bmp), memo files (*.txt), or all files (*.*).

If the CommonDialog parameter is true, then the import dialog box is displayed. If the CommonDialog parameter is false (default), then the import dialog box is not displayed.
