Looks good. I would be very happy with a SizeMode that would allow me to resize the PictureBox but keep the original ratio.

I've added GetImageWidth and GetImageHeight methods to the component, so you could keep aspect ratio like this:

AdvancedImage.LoadImage('c:\sample.jpg');
CurrForm.SubForm.WIDTH := AdvancedImage.GetImageWidth*10;
CurrForm.SubForm.HEIGHT := AdvancedImage.GetImageHeight*10;
CurrForm.UPDATE;

Wait for 2.0 version

Hello,

Nice piece of software (and fast).
Can you tell me if it is possible to show two (or more) images on one form ?

Thanks

tyrexxx

It is possible.

For example open form 80004, make a copy of subform and set its name to 'image2'.
Create a global variable AdvancedImage2 and change
'AdvancedImage' to 'AdvancedImage2' in OnActivate trigger of subform 'image2'.
Create an alternative button with code "CurrForm.img2.ACTIVATE;".
Compile form

So when you click alternative button you will get two images on one form

Jaap_Tempelman

Oke, I got that.

But you "link" the image to a subform . Is it possible to create a report with an image on it ?

Thanks !

tlarson

Is it possible to store the image in the database (such as in a BLOB) and then display it using this DLL?

What code would this require to store an image and to retrieve an image?

Thanks!

It's possbile using C/AL:

1) import an image into BLOB-field of table

Table.INIT;
Table.BLOBImage.IMPORT('c:\sample.jpg');
Table.INSERT;

2) retrieving an image

Table.FIND('-');
Table.CALCFIELDS(BLOBImage);
Table.BLOBImage.EXPORT(ENVIRON('TEMP')+'\temp_img.jpg');
AdvancedImage.LoadImage(ENVIRON('TEMP')+'\temp_img.jpg');

This control look promising. Though after trying to use it in a report, I had to disassamble your code (!! thanks MS for .NET ) to enquire possibillities. It seems there has to be a Subform acting as container and therefore bound to be used in forms.

I recon most people urging for a control like this but wants (or has!) to use it in Reports as well as in Forms.

If you intend to improve the control, I have some topics for consideration:
- Named Hooking. Couldn't it be possible to use f.ex. a Shape as container. The container name could then get it's own property or be passed to the Init function.
- Alignment Properties. HorAlign (Left, Center, Right) and VerAlign (Top, Center, Bottom). It would then be possible to f.ex. center a "Keep Ratio"-mode picture.

Nice to see that innovation hasn't stopped! Great work..

navnav

Nice tool !.

What I would like to see is that, when you print a word doc as eg tiff you could use this tool to see the doc in Navision.
For some reason, the pagebreaks are not supported. I only see the first page if I do so.


Are there eny intentions to integrate this ?


Thanks !

aldero

Hi,

Is it possible to browse for a file and put that in the subform instead of the filename sample.jpg

This would be a great feature

Thanks in advance

Hi.
We have many computers.
Can I avoid registering NavAdvancedImage.dll on evry comp.
(we are do not use Citrix etc)/

There's some specification about running Navision AdvanceImage Net 1.X over Navision 4.0

I can't run it.

Thanks

Saro

is there a way to clear the image from the subform using a command ??

Saro

I'm sorry i'm asking my questions in chunks, but i'm having a problem as to which form will contain the picture that is being loaded into the system, is there a way that we can direct the control to a certain subform on the form?

If i got it right, Subform have Handle. So, when subform is activated, it fires triger OnActivate
In this triger AdvancedImage.Init transmit Handle. And then, on top of window (subform) draws picture
AdvancedImage.LoadImage("Path to Pictures")

For example I have 2 tabs with SubForm1 and SubForm2. OnActivate:
X - 1 or 2 ( depends on which SubForm)
IF ISCLEAR(AdvancedImageX) THEN BEGIN
IF NOT CREATE(AdvancedImageX) THEN BEGIN
MESSAGE('Cannot create AdvancedImage component');
EXIT;
END;
AdvancedImageX.Init;
AdvancedImageX.LoadImage("Path to Pictures X");
END;

So, when I swich tab control - I have 2 pictures.

Is it real to add new mode. Which fit image to subform and preserve aspect ratio of image sides. I thought it mode=0, but it dosen't works.
For example
subform w*h = 100 x 300
image w*h = 400 x 800

AdvancedImage can confert image to 100 x 200 and put it on subform.

To RAndrews

First of all thank you for taking the time to answer this

Well i understand but the form i will be using on is the main item card in navision 3.6, so i cannot wait till the box is activated so that the subform shows the picture, plus with this case the second the control leaves the subform, the images opened will cover the whole item card, or sometimes the main menu; it's a bit unstable when you want to open a picture in that subform lets say in the onaftergetrecord trigger of the subform,
i wonder if there is a way to pass the handle as a parameter, but then again we would have to actually know the handle of each trigger, also it might be during runtime that a handle is generated, if so then doesn't it mean that there would be no way we can assign the actual subform as a parameter to the dll file,

I wonder if i can experiment with GUIDs the problem is i'm not familiar with DLL files, how to read the classes and/or modify them.

First of all, I am not autor of dll. See top of the topic - autor is TYREXXX.

1 . You can make control so that subfurm will activate it first.
2. You can use function Activate to activate subform

Cover main menu... Hm... I am using dll of tyrex on a form with 2 tabs. On each tab diferent images. Covering was not apear...
OnAfterGetReccord:

IF FItem."No." <> "Item No." THEN BEGIN
CLEAR(AdvancedImage);
CLEAR(AdvancedImage2);
END;

OnActivate - see code in answer above.
I'm using client 3.7B, base 3.6

SizeMode = 4 and SetAspectRatio(SetImageWidth/SetImageHeight)

i want to know the procedure to bind .net control in navision form ....
thanks

jks

Really very good tool.

I want to link AdvancedImage with a picturebox. How can I do that?
i.e I have placed one picturebox on the report. currently I import data in SalesLine.Picture and picturebox has sourceexpr = SalesLine.Picture.
My picture is .bmp.

Now can I link AdvancedImage with this picturebox.

Thanks for any help.

jadetunji

I am having problems displaying an adobe illustrator file (*.ai) vector graphic file within navision....is this application capable of doing just that? If so, how? need all help not a ca/l guru.

tentacle

So 18 months later.....

is there now a way to print transparent images on a report?

This creamy-gray-white background behind our logo doesnt look that good

mav

What about images stored in SQl will this work for that?

starre

Thanks, it works fine, but can you also add the PDF format?

Hi

More later ...

Anyone done it? (print in a report an image in another format, i.e. tif, not a bmp)

Thanks

PD: Good tool!

I use your control. It's great. But I'have a strange situation.
I use it in two different form. When I switch from one to other and return to first form the image appears very small in a box in wich appears 123 numers!!
Why this?What I do to solve this problem?
