We do support only german, french, italian, spanish and english
language variants of the control so far. If you need another language
let us know. The online documentation (programming manual) will
be english in all language variants.

Where can we find the documentation?

You can find the help file in the installation directory. See the
message above.

You can also use programs like PixResizer to MASS CHANGE all your JPG's to BMP (amongst others) in one click.

then work with the BMP's that Nav can show

& it's free

I've been playing with this tool on behalf of a client who needs to link a large quantity of oddly sized jpegs to their Navision database. Everything works really well. However, the deal breaker for my client is that there doesn't seem to be a way to shrink the really wide or really tall jpegs down to a size that will fit into the picture boxes on our forms and reports. I'm frankly not even concerned with preserving the aspect ratio, I just don't want the pictures to truncate or pour over. Are MaximumX and MaximumY properties possible? Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!

We have released the version 2 of the jpeg control.

The method JPG2BMP has two properties called LimitX and LimitY. If you set these limits to the size of your control, the picture will be scaled up or down keeping the aspect ratio.

I hope that helps.

{OnAfterGetCurrentRecord}
-------------------------
CALCFIELDS(Picture);
IF Picture.HASVALUE THEN BEGIN
  Picture.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutputStream);
  Picture.CREATEINSTREAM(InputStream);
  SystimeToolSet.LimitX := CurrForm.Picture.WIDTH;  
  SystimeToolSet.LimitY := CurrForm.Picture.HEIGHT;
  SystimeToolSet.JPG2BMP(InputStream, OutputStream);
END;

I got an error saying "The folder path 'Programmmen?des Benutzers' contains an invalid character' during installation. After that the installation is incomplete.

I'm using English XP, what's wrong with the exe? Anybody can help?

I have got a problem which may be due to Vista.
As sample code, I tried the following lines in the OnAfterGetRecord trigger of Item Card:

CALCFIELDS(Picture);
IF Picture.HASVALUE THEN BEGIN
  Picture.CREATEOUTSTREAM(outS);
  Item := Rec;
  CLEAR(Item.Picture);
  Item.Picture.CREATEINSTREAM(inS);
  sysTime.JPG2BMP(inS,outS);
  Item.CALCFIELDS(Picture);
END ELSE
  CLEAR(Item.Picture);

together with a picture box with SourceExpr=Item.Picture
When I open Item Card, I get the following error in NAV 4.3 and in 5.0 (SP1), too:
"C/Side was unable to load a windows resource ..."
Is there something wrong with the code above? Should the control work under Vista?
It would be great, if you could expose a sample code for showing JPG-images stored in the Item.Picture BLOB-field in a PictureBox within the Item Card?
