pixmapID

Type

property

Summary

Specifies the ID of the data structure the operating system uses to hold the screen image of the current card.

Syntax

get the pixmapID of <stack>

Description

Use the pixmapID property to pass to an external that needs to manipulate the window.

Important

The pixmapID property is not supported in LiveCode 2.7 of LiveCode and always returns 0.

The pixmap ID is provided by the operating system.

Some externals need to manipulate the contents of the image directly, and do so by referencing the ID. Such externals require you to pass the ID when you use the external.

Examples

get colorAnimate(the pixmapID of this stack) -- an XFCN
