These functions search the system for a bitmap.

The input parameter contains the name of the bitmap that is searched for (bi->Name() or namein). If the filename from the input is incorrect, and the bitmap is found somewhere else, these functions set the output (bi->Name() or nameout) with the correct path.

The order of the search is as follows:

• The full UNC path/filename indicated in the input object.
• The path where the current 3ds max file was loaded from.
• The directory tree under the directory where the current Max files was loaded.
• The Map path.

  Returns:

  TRUE if the file was found; otherwise FALSE.
