= METAFILE =
== Syntax ==
:{{ctl[''n'']: METAFILE(''Class Specific Properties''), ''Other Properties''}}
== Description ==
:The class METAFILE allows one to place a metafile in the dialog window.  By default, this user control is not actionable.
== Class Specific Properties ==
:'''CENTERIMAGE'''
::Scales the image to original size and centers it within the control.
:'''NOTIFY'''
::Makes the user control actionable and activates tooltip.
== Other Properties ==
:'''Action'''
::The action that the plug-in should take when the bitmap is clicked on. Possible values include APPLY and CANCEL.
:'''Image'''
::The path to the image that should be used for the bitmap 
:'''Val'''
::Assigns a value to the image, but only when it is disabled. ''(default = 0)''
== Example ==
<code>
ctl[0]: METAFILE, Image="Airplane.wmf"
ctl[1]: METAFILE(MODALFRAME, NOTIFY), Image="D:\\Graphics\\Button2.emf", Action=CANCEL
</code>
== Notes ==
:'''WARNING:''' METAFILE support is currently broken in 64-bit versions of FilterMeister, and will cause the compiler to hang the graphics program. METAFILE still works in 32-bit versions of FM.
:Once the metafile is actionable, its value definitions are lost. The reason is that a user control returns a specific value and overwrites (once the mouse button is clicked over the user control) the user control's value.
:Currently the windows metafile (.WMF) and enhanced metafile (.EMF) formats are supported.
:When standalone filters are created, metafiles are not embedded by default.  You can use the Embed: function to embed the icon into the standalone filter file.
:The image file should be present in the active directory or in any of the directories set in the PATH or FM_PATH variables (check your AUTOEXEC.BAT file).
