Maybe this form control should get an optional max size property, which 
could be set according to the underlying field size; then the code could 
check that in OImageControlModel::setFastPropertyValue_NoBroadcast (for 
PROPERTY_ID_IMAGE_URL and PROPERTY_ID_GRAPHIC).

question about finding the size of a DB column

[Dhiraj Holden]

I have started looking at this bug
 about Base
crashing with Firebird when using a form to insert an image that does not
fit in a binary field. The proposed fix was to check in xref/core
/forms
/source
/component
/
ImageControl.cxx

(OImageControlControl::implInsertGraphics) whether the image was bigger
than the database column. In order to do this, I need to find the size of
the image and the column. How should I proceed?

Thanks,
