Maintaining File Comments

Some file formats can contain comments, and some cannot, and each file format has its own set of comment types, as described in Types of File Comments.

An array of comments can be maintained in memory. These comments can be written to a file, along with the control's loaded bitmap, when the file is saved. The comments can also be written to an existing file, without overwriting the stored image.
