Add an Image to a Form

Good afternoon,





I would like to add an Image or Icon to a Form, so that it is displayed with every compound in a Local database. Is this currently possible?





Thanks





Catherine

Hi Catherine,





This is not currently possible, but it is already under development for the next major version of IJC.





You will be able to do this in one of the following ways:


1. a field that contains the full URL of the images to display.


e.g. http://your.server/path/to/image.png





2. a field that contains the partial URL of an image, with the full URL being generated by substituting the value of another field e.g. the compound ID.


e.g. http://your.server/path/to/${compound_id}.png





3. an image that is stored directly in the database as binary (BLOB) field.





It will be possible to display all 3 types on a form.








I hope this helps.

Hi Tim





Thanks for the very quick reply.





However, i do not wish to display an Image which is stored in the database, but display a logo on the Form simply to make the form look nicer.





I guess if we could load an image file when we create a Label instead of typing some text, that would be perfect for us.





Thanks

Ah, right. That too is on the list of things to do.


But currently its not possible.
