How to add a image to a form in Ax 2009

Hi Friends,

Today we are going to add a image to form below the grid to diplay the related image.


In class declaration of your form declare a FormWindowControl (variable name - itemImage) and add a method on form of to load the images,
the code for form is as follows


void loadImage()
{
    Image img;
    ;

    //where FormDataSource is the datasource holding image

    if (FormDataSource.Image)

    {

        img = new Image();

        img.setData(FormDataSource.Image);

        itemImage.image(img);

    }

    else

    {

        itemImage.image(null);

    }

}

overirde the init method of the form as shown below:-

public void init()
{
    ;

    super();
    itemImage = element.design().control(control::Window);
}

Take a button under menuitem buton and name it as "save as"
to save the image which u have created  take a new method on form and write the following code

void saveImage()

{

    Image    img;

    Filename name;

    str      type;

    #File

    ;

    img = new Image();

    type = '.'+strlwr(enum2value(img.saveType()));

    name = WinAPI::getOpenFileName(element.hWnd(), [WinAPI::fileType(type),#AllFilesName+type], '', '');

    if (name)

    {

        ttsbegin;

        img.loadImage(name);

        

        //where FormDataSource is the datasource holding image

         FormDataSource.Image = img.getData();

         FormDataSource.write();

        ttscommit;

    }

}

Now, override the active method of formdatasource and place the code as shown below:-

public int active()

{

    int ret;

    ret = super();

    element.loadImage();

    return ret;

}

Also, override the clicked method of "Save as" button created above and place the code as shown below:-

void clicked()

{

    super();

    element.saveImage();

}

Final step:- Add a window control on the tabpage\group or the place where u want to display the image.

Thanks.
