Setting Pictures in Datawindows

[Kutay AKIN]

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem on setting the pictures on a datawindow, which I retrieve from database from embedded SQL.

Briefly I have pictures on a table. I retrieve a picture with SelectBlob into a blob variable. Then I want to set that image(dw_1.object.p_1.SetPicture(picture) ) to a picture control in a datawindow with SetPicture(), I got the "error accessing external object property setpicture" error...

For normal picture control (not in dw i mean) this function works ok but not in dw's.

I am using PB v9.0.1. Build 7236 and the DB is Sybase ASE v15.

Please help me in this situation.

Regards

Hi,

I think you have to write your blob to file and set the path by picturename like this:

dw_1.object.p_1.picturename = "C:\TEMP\mypicture.jpg"

Yeah, I found that solution on experts-exchange right now. Sounds working not tried yet. But not an efficient or good way to do so i think... but probably only the solution.

Thanks for your interest buddy... Have a nice day.
