The Image control

The Image control is a control that can be bound to a hypelink column (picture) or be unbound and get a static image url or get the url from a list query.

Type : Image

Name

Provides a unique name for the control.

Binding

Indicates if the control is

Unbound
Bound to list column
Is a label for a control bound to list column

By default, when opening a form that has no saved customization, the system generates one control and one label (for the control caption) for each list column found in the selected content type.

Enabled for new records

Enabled for existing records

Visibility Formula

Define a valid formula (using javascript) that will be evaluated during runtime to show or hide the control.

The expression should return a boolean value.

For example :

Code

form.FieldValue(“c_Status”) != “Rejected” || form.UserID() == “1”

Value

This property defines how the control will get its value.

Here are the available options :

The value is Static (this is the default for label controls)
The value will be provided by the user (Not applicable for labels)
The value will be calculated by a formula
The value will be retrieved from a list query
The value will be provided by a web service call
The value will be provided by a SQL query

Static value

A static text must be set in the appropriate designer control.

Formula

A javascript expression must be set that will provide the value for the control.

If the formula contains references to other controls, dependencies will be automatically identifies during run-time and the value will be updated to reflect changes.

Example :

Code

form.FieldValue(“c_Active”) ? “Yes” : “No”

There is an additional option that instructs the form to perform calculations only for new records. Existing records will keep their original value.

List Query

A predefined list query is bound to the value of the control. So during form initialization, the specified list query is executed and if it returns any item, it selects the first one and it will apply the value to the label based on the following rule :

If a Field Name has been selected in the corresponding box, that specific column will be used from the list item to fill the control value.

If the Field Name is left blank, the first column retrieved will be used.

Web Service

The same as above, the required web service is selected and after the web service retrieves data, the first item will be used to update the control value. If no Field Name is set, the control will receive the first field of the retrieved item.

SQL Query

Works the same way ListQueries and Web Service works.

Default Value

The default value has any effect only of the control is bound to a list column.

For unbound controls, the default value is ignored.

You may set a static value here or use a formula by starting your input with the “equals” (=) sign.

Width

Defines the width of the control.

When the value is zero, the maximum allowed width will be used.

Height

Defines the control height.

If the value is zero, the height property will not be set.

H.Alignment

Defines the horizontal alignment of the parent cell (values : left, right, center)

V.Alignment

Defines the vertical alignment of the parent cell (values : top, bottom, center)

Fore Color

Not applicable for the image control

Back Color

Not applicable for the image control

Cell Color

Not applicable for the image control

Margin

Sets the margin applied to the control, that is, the spacing between the control and the cell borders.

Font Style

Not applicable for the image control

Not Applicable for this control

Alt

Define the alt text for the image

Sets the script that will be executed at the value-change event of the control.

Example :

Code

var value = form.GetControl(“c_Title”).GetValue();

if (value == “Open”) form.HideSection(“Details”);

else form.ShowSection(“Details”);
