Hi Everyone,

I feel that this should be simple to accomplish but I guess I'm having a logic failure here... I'm wanting to put an image that is stored in an image control into a field.

I thought this code would do it:

Code: Select all

   ...
   put image"Im" into tIm
   set the imagesource of char 1 of field "txtFIELD" to tIm
   ...

but no!

Grateful if anyone could help in showing me where I'm going wrong!

Many thanks

Glenn

Hi Glenn,

the DICTIONARY (Nudge, nudge) leaves no doubt about this!

Code: Select all

...
set the imagesource of char 1 of field "txtFIELD" to (the ID of img "lm")
...
# Or
...
set the imagesource of char 1 of field "txtFIELD" to "lm"
...

Best

Klaus

Hi,
You may even use external file

Code: Select all

set the imageSource of last char of me to "binfile:My Image"

Best regards
