I am trying to decide whether or not to use "Import as Control" or
"Referenced Control" for importing jpegs into a Revolution program. On the one hand,
I'd like to avoid putting out a standalone program with a separate folder
containing all of the pictures (Referenced Control), but I'd also like to
conserve disc space for the standalone application. I understand that "Referenced
Control" simply uses the same photo repeatedly without taking up extra memory for
each time the photo is used. Does "Import as Control" take up additional
memory each time the same photo is duplicated in the program? Thanks.
Yes.
If you're displaying the same image in more than one place, you may want to make it the icon of a button instead. (Check the icon property in the docs.) An icon can be of any size, and a transparent button doesn't display a button frame - only the icon image is visible. You can use the same image as the icon of multiple buttons, and the image is not duplicated on disk.
