GetUniqueImageID Method

Description

Gets a long integer that represents a unique image buffer that is currently not already in use.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function GetUniqueImageID() As Long

Return Type

A long which represents an unused buffer ID.

Remarks

This method should be called instead of arbitrarily setting an image ID to the properties that take an ImageID. You should use this method to prevent inadvertently loading an image into an image buffer that is already in use. This is an easy way to ensure the stability of existing image buffers.
