Can you display image in list field

I have looked at the Datagrid thing and it seems to be unbelievably complicated to display data. I am familiar with the List field object and if it could be made to display a thumbnail image, like a book on Amazon, then that would be ideal.
Can it be done?

Hi user#606,
yes, look up "imagesource" in the dictionary!
Basically you can "replace" any or all characters in a field with an image this way.

Thank you Klaus.
I got it working, but the remaining cells are to contain multi line text and the Don't wrap property cannot be false, so I cannot format the text to be anything other than a single long line.
I can work things differently now I have to.

yep, that is how "list fields" work!

Yes, I saw in another thread that you are using groups now.
Another way is to use a Datagrid of type FORM, but these are quite complex.
