This function is used to load an IMAGE type variable with the contents of a bitmap file.
The following extensions are supported: bmp, cut, emf, eps, ico, gif, iff, jpg, jp2, mng, pbm, pcx, pgm, png, ppm, psp, tif, tga, wmf. With the Adelia Mobile runtime, the only formats allowed are: bmp, gif, jpg, png and ico.
The image format in the IMAGE variable will be the DIB format, whatever the format of the image in the file.
The DIB format must be used to display an image in the Visual Adelia IMAGE object.
However, this format is not compatible with Adelia web images (for which you must use the VaToolBxFileToImage function).
