### QPx_SetAreaImageFile

QPx_SetAreaImageFile(areaRef; imagePath):error
| areaRef | Longint | QPix area reference
| imagePath | Text | Path to the image file
| error | Longint | Error result

Displays an image file in a QPix plug-in area.

The QPix plug-in area is specified by areaRef. If areaRef is not a valid QPix plug-in area reference, qpx_paramErr is returned.

The image file to be displayed is specified by imagePath. If imagePath is empty, QPix presents a file selection dialog where the user can preview and select an image file. If the user selects a file, its full pathname is returned in imagePath, otherwise error qpx_userCancelErr is returned.

Example

``Let the user select an image from disk` ``and display it in the plug-in area` `` `C_LONGINT($error)` `C_TEXT($imagePath)` `` `$imagePath:=""` `` `$error:=QPx_SetAreaImageFile (gQPixArea;$imagePath)` `` `If ($error=qpx_noErr)` `` ``$imagePath contains the pathname of the selected file` `` `End if`
