Hi,

Is there anyway to add a picture to a form? I'm building my own form in Powerbuilder (works fine) and I can drop an image on that form, but I want to specify what file to load when the form loads. I can't find anything in the help file in dw_1.item collection - any ideas? On my form I have created an image object dw_1.item.p_1.

Thanks,

  Hi Phil

  insert a compute field with the command

  bitmap(fieldname)
  
  example: 
  in table field "picture" the path to the picture is saved
  now you can insert the formula
  
  bitmap(picture)
  
  or 
  bitmap("c:\foldername\"+picture)

  Hi Martin,

  Thanks. I'm designing a screen in Powerbuilder and did it like this. I added a picture control to my form (that isn't part of the query that retrieves data) then used this code to pull in the right picture in the form_loaded event. The customer has parts process drawings already saved to a file.

      setvar=ps=<dw_1.item.itemcode.value>-02.JPG
      dw_1.item.p_1.filename=\\XXX-XXX\Shared\SAP\Attachments Folder\<ps>
  
  

  Here is what the screen looks like
