Formatter: Attached Pictures Viewer

Formatter Properties for the Attached Pictures Viewer:

  • Visible

    Enable / disable a display of the control on the View. The control may exist on the View layout but may be prevented from being displayed on the actual View. It can also be used creatively to leave a "virtual" blank space in the left column of the view.

    Note the specific appearance of this option in the View Designer: If selected, the view element will be hatched.

  • Height of Image

    Height of the control in pixels. This property determines the actual vertical size of the viewer while Row Span only determines how many other controls of row span=1 may be placed alongside the viewer.

  • Scale Down

    If any of the dimensions of the picture is bigger than corresponding dimensions of the control, then setting this property to 'True' causes the picture to be scaled down to fit the control while preserving the picture's aspect ratio.

    If set to 'False', the picture is displayed without scaling and only part of it can be seen in the control with scroll bars provided to enable scrolling to see the rest.

  • Scale Up

    If both dimensions of the picture are smaller than corresponding dimensions of the control, then setting this property to 'True' causes the picture to be scaled up to fill maximum space available while preserving its aspect ratio.

    If set to 'False', then the picture is displayed without scaling.

  • Show border

    Determines whether a border line is displayed around the picture control.

  • Enabled

    Determines whether the picture selection drop-down box and paste button are displayed below the picture control. If disabled, images are only displayed but cannot be added or removed. This is intended for situations when fixed picture sets are supplied which the user is not supposed to change.

  • Select Action...

    Click to open the Action browser and select the requested action. The action will be assigned and visible at the right edge of the attribute control. The action visibility is determined by the existing editor action assignments (state, mode, rules...).

    Once assigned, you can edit the action using the Edit button or remove it using the Remove button.
