PatternCanvas.Data property

Gets or sets the Canvas Data

Syntax:

Property Get Data() As String
Property Let Data(ByVal Value As String)

Remarks:

The Data property returns or specifies the string representing a bitmap pattern. The pattern is encoded with a special algorithm to allow the binary bitmap data to be represented in a text form.

Data is the default property of the PatternCanvas class.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a new checkerboard pattern that is 16 × 16 pixels and then applies it to a rectangle.

Sub Test()
  Dim c As New PatternCanvas
  c.Data = "%%['$aH,&A5&0C"
  With ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(0, 0, 3, 3)
    .Fill.ApplyPatternFill cdrTwoColorPattern
    .Fill.Pattern.Canvas = c
  End With
End Sub
