How to show a background image in the Forms 6i MDI window?

Question

Hello,
We are using Oracle Forms 6i Release 2 Patch 18 on Windows XP in client/server environment (not web server).
Is there any way to show a background image in the MDI root window without using DLL injection to subclass the MDI root window procedure.

Please try this 
Public Function Decompress(ByVal arr As Byte()) As Byte()
        Dim s As Byte()
        Dim notCompressed As Boolean
        notCompressed = False
        Dim MS As System.IO.MemoryStream
        MS = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
        MS.Write(arr, 0, arr.Length)
        MS.Position = 0
        Dim stream As System.IO.Compression.GZipStream
        stream = New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(MS, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
        Dim temp As System.IO.MemoryStream
        temp = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
        Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4096) {}
        While (True)
            Try
                Dim read As Integer
                read = stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                If (read <= 0) Then
                    Exit While
                Else
                    temp.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                notCompressed = True
                Exit While
            End Try
        End While
        If (notCompressed = True) Then
            stream.Close()
            Return temp.ToArray()
        Else
            Return temp.ToArray()
        End If
    End Function
