Right. Because form bitmap objects don't have IDs of their own. A form
bitmap object is literally nothing more than coordinates, a bitmap resource
id, and a "usable" attribute. There's nothing more to them than that.

Well, you could loop from zero to FrmGetNumberOfObjects()-1, calling
FrmGetObjectType() to see if the object at that index is a frmBitmapObj,
and if it is then call FrmGetObjectId() to see what the id of its bitmap
resource is, and/or call FrmGetObjectBounds() to get the position, and thus
determine if it is the one you wanted to do something with.
