Image PROP TEXT

[dEraCh2000]

Hi,

I'm having some difficulty with the image control.
To assign an image at runtime I use code like
?Image{PROP:TEXT}=filepath
and some images do not show up
I have 5 image controls on a form.
When I try message(?Image{PROP:TEXT}) a get empty string
Images are in the same folder, all have similar names.

Two images that do not show up, I cant get them even by using DosLookup template control., even though it is a valid jpg, I can preview it and open it in paint.

All of these images were copied to disk using BLOBTOFILE function.

p.s. another thing, how do I rise an event so the new image gets saved to the blob field. I'm using the extension for saving. How can I tell the form to save the new record

Kind regards
Armin

Hi Armin,

Is the File Path an Absolute path or a Relative Path?

Is the Image Control set to Stretch? Are the Horizontal & vertical scroll bars enabled on the Image Control to pan the image if the Image Control is small for the Image?

TakeCompleted - Before Parent Call on the FORM ::

BlobColumn{PROP:Size} = 0
BlobColumn{PROP:Handle} = ?Image{PROP:ImageBlob}

should assign the Image to the BLOB.

Regards

Hi,

The path is absolute, formed from path() &'\Temp\' & 'pct1.'& picture extension

That's not the problem, becouse I use the same code fore every image.

Image control is set to strech.

I hade the same problem with your code as I hade with the extension.

BMP files were OK, but the JPG ones turned out to be bigger when I return them to disk from the database.

One image was 109 KB on disk. After I put it into the database, and returned it do disk again its size wnt up to 1,2 MB.

So I tried to use FILETOBLOB function to get the pictures to the database, and now it works fine.
All images are OK.

I don't understand the reason for this problem, but I'm glad I found a solution.

Kind regards
