Syntax
LONG SaveImage (BSTR strFileName)
Description
SaveImage() saves an image from the active image memory (as returned by GetImageMem()) to a file. The file is saved in Windows bitmap format (BMP) with a color depth of 8, 15, 16, 24 or 32 bit depending on the color mode. Some image processing programs do not support 15 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit bitmaps and therefore may be unable to load these images.
The file name can contain an absolute as well as a relative file path.
Parameters
