Hi Paul,

Thanks for Paris :-)

If you
show an image of another opened stack in your button (as icon), the size maybe bigger but results dropped and it's OK; in a field as imagesource,
it's not dropped and 'invades' the field.

As far as I know, images used as icons in buttons or placed in fields are never resized.
Fortunately :-)

As for me I would use something like:

on SetImageSource pImageName,pField,pChar,pHeight
  create invisible image
  set the botright of last image to -1,-1 -- off-screen
  put image pImageName into last image
  set the lockloc of last image to true
  set the name of last image to pImageName & "Thumb"
  set the height of last image to 14
set the width of last image to (the width of img "Ref" / the height of img "Ref") * pHeight set the imageSource of char pChar of fld pField to pImageName & "Thumb"
end SetImageSource

And then I would use for instance:  SetImageSource "Ref","Test",3,14
Where Ref is the name of an original image, Test the name of a field, 3 the char number and 14 the height I want for the image in the field.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

Hi Paul,

Then if you want to show a big image AND have a mini thumbnail used
as an icon, there are 2 possibilities:
If images are static ones, prepare 2 images, a big one and a tiny
one :-)
If images can be imported by the user, you'll build their thumbnail
on-the-fly.

No, the problem is this: I cannot change the original image, nor
copy it. I
only need to show an 'icon' of the image (as in a button).

Best Regards from Paris,

Thanks, Eric, but the problem is different: I would use the imageSource property to show images from other stacks on a list field in my stack, but avoiding to manipulate the images and to make unreadable my field. If you show an image of another opened stack in your button (as icon), the size maybe bigger but results dropped and it's OK; in a field as imagesource,
it's not dropped and 'invades' the field.

Paris c'est merveilleuse (I'm born in Paris).

Bye
