NetWebBrowse & Images

[rupertvz]

Hi Guys,

• I'd like to build a NetWebBrowse, but with an image of an item on each row.
  When the user clicks on the image, or a link on the same record, it should open a pop-up window with a larger version of the image.
  Could this be accomplished fairly easily in NT6?
• It is better to store the both image files (thumbnail & larger version) in a folder on the hard drive, with a reference in the record to the file location,
  Or rather to use FiletoBlob function to store the images as binary in the table?

Yes.  Look for the "On Click" tab under a field's properties.  You can point the click to a URL and open as pop-up.

I store thumbnail and main image in a folder inside the web directory.  Path is stored in my table.  As far as BLOB's, I learned the hard way that - if you're using TPS - you can run out of room real quick.

Good luck!
