Explanation
The FileType property refers to the type of image format. To retrieve the value of this property, first execute the GetImageFileType or GetImageFileTypeMem method.
The FileType property refes to the following image formats
1:BMP/DIB 2:BMP/DIB(RLE4) 3:BMP/DIB(RLE8)
4:JPEG(Standard DCT) 5:JPEG(Progressive DCT) 6:GIF(87a)
7:GIF(89a) 8:TIFF(Uncompressed) 9:TIFF(CCITTRLE)
10:TIFF(GROUP3-1D) 11:TIFF(GROUP3-2D) 12:TIFF(GROUP4)
13:TIFF(PACKBITS) 14:TIFF(LZW) 15:PNG
16:FPX(Uncompressed) 17:FPX(Single Color) 18:FPX(JPEG)
19:PCX 20:WMF 21:EMF
22:DXF 23:Exif(JPEG) 24:SVG
25:JPEG2000(Part1) 26:JPEG2000(Code Stream) 27:SXF(p21)
28:SFC(sfc)
29:TIFF(JPEG)
Note: TIFF(GROUP3-1D) is the same as MH. TIFF(GROUP3-2D) is the
same as MR. TIFF(GROUP4) is the same as MMR. The ImageKit10
supports a portion of Exif version 2.3 tags
If an unsupported image format is loaded into the ImageKit
Control, the FileType property will return 0.
It is also possible to use the following constants (vikFileTypeBMP = 1, vkFileTypeBMPRLE4 = 2, vikFileTypeBMPRLE8 = 3, vikFileTypeJPEG = 4, vikFileTypeJPEGProgress = 5, vikFileTypeGIF87 = 6, vikFileTypeGIF89 = 7, vikFileTypeTIFFNoncompressed = 8, vikFileTypeTIFFCcittrle = 9, vikFileTypeTIFFGroup3_1D = 10, vikFileTypeTIFFGroup3_2D = 11, vikFileTypeTIFFGroup4 = 12, vikFileTypeTIFFPackbits = 13, vikFileTypeTIFFLZW = 14, vikFileTypePNG = 15, vikFileTypeFPXNoncompressed = 16, vikFileTypeFPXSingleColor = 17, vikFileTypeFPXJpeg = 18, vikFileTypePCX = 19, vikFileTypeWMF = 20, vikFileTypeEMF = 21, vikFileTypeDXF = 22, vikFileTypeEXIF = 23, vikFileTypeSVG = 24, vikFileTypeJPEG2000 = 25, vikFileTypeJPEG2000Stream = 26, vikFileTypeSXFP21 = 27, vikFileTypeSXFSFC = 28, vikFileTypeTIFFJPEG = 29).
When using vector image formats the following properties are disabled; FileBitCount, FileImageSize, FileMaxPage, and FileWidthByte.
Setting this value
This value cannot be set.
Retrieving this value

Differences from ImageKit7/8/9/10 ActiveX
The FileType is not 4 bytes but is 2 bytes.
