Description

Use the pixmapID property to pass to an external that needs to manipulate the window.

Important: The pixmapID property is not supported in version 2.7 of LiveCode and always returns 0.

The pixmap ID is provided by the operating system.

Some externals need to manipulate the contents of the image directly, and do so by referencing the ID. Such externals require you to pass the ID when you use the external.
