GOOD MORNING
DAN ,RACHEL , THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE .IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO TAKE FEW ATTEMTPS BEFORE I AM ABLE TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS THAT DEFINE MY OBJECTIVES . AFTER RE THINKING THE PROCESS : I HAVE A FORM WITH AN ENHANCED TAB CONTROL THE SECOND TAB HOLDS 3 IMAGES, 2 DB IMAGES AND 1 VARIABLE IMAGE. WHAT WOULD THE SYNTAX BE (PROPERTY COMMAND IN EEP)THAT WOULD MAKE ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE DB IMAGES APPEAR IN THE VARIABLE IMAGE IE :ON CLICK OF THE DB IMAGE THE IDENTICAL IMAGE WOULD APPEAR IN THE VARIABLE IMAGE CONTROL WHERE THE BACKGROUND WOULD BE SET TO TRANSPARENT COULD I USE A 'IMAGE' CONTROL INSTEAD OF THE 'VARIBLE IMAGE .' CONTROL? THE END RESULT WOULD BE THAT I WOULD HAVE AN IMAGE OR VAIABLE IMAGE WITH A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND THAT WOULD BE 'BROUGHT TO THE FRONT AND RESIDE DIRECTLY ON TOP OF A DB IMAGE WHICH WOULD BE VISIBLE AS WELL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rachael Malberg Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:29 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: any body home on this the variable image uses var vdrwing? if so after set var vdrwing issue RECALC VAR Have a Fabulous Day!

IF SO HOW WOULD THE VARIABLE IMAGE GET ITS VALUE? THE FOLLOWING DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK SET VAR vdrwing TEXT {THE VARIABLE IMAGE } GETPROPERTY cid_bp2 textvalue 'VDRWING' {THE DB IMAGE THAT WILL GIVE ITS IMAGE'S VALUE TO THE VARIABLE IMAGE} SET VAR vdrwing VARBIT PROPERTY CID_VDRW .VDRWING {ASSIGN THE VARABLE TO THE VARIABLE IMAGE) I AM TRYING TO 'MARK UP' A MECHANICAL DRAWING WITH A TOP LAYER IT SEEMS THAT A DB IMAGE CANNOT BE TRANPARENT A VARIALBE IMAGE CAN BE . I HOPE MY EXPLANATION IS CLEAR. MIKE
