The Configure Image task panel enables you to define attributes for an image control.

The following table describes the properties and attributes of this model element:

Group

Property

Description

General

Label

The label text to be displayed to the left of the control.

You can either enter the text directly in the Label field, or click the fx button to define the label text using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

URL

The static or dynamic URL of the image to be displayed in the control. You can either enter the URL directly in the URL field, choose a field from the dropdown list, or choose Define expression from the dropdown list to specify a URL using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Read-only

Indicates whether the control is read-only or editable at runtime. A read-only control is displayed at runtime, but its value cannot be modified by the runtime user.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is read-only or editable, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is read-only or editable at runtime.

This option is relevant only when the control is bound to a local data field.

Enabled

Indicates whether the control is enabled or disabled at runtime. A disabled control is displayed, but is grayed out (including the label), and cannot be activated by the runtime user.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is enabled or disabled, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is enabled or disabled at runtime.

Visible

Indicates whether the control is hidden or displayed at runtime.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is hidden or visible, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is displayed or hidden at runtime.

Indent

Defines the alignment of the control within the layout column.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is indented or left-aligned, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is indented at runtime.

For some control types, left-aligning the control hides the label and stretches the control to fill the entire column width; for other control types, it hides the label and left-aligns the control (without changing the control width).

Tooltip

Text to be displayed in a tooltip over the element at runtime.

You can either enter the tooltip text directly in the Tooltip field, or click the fx button to define the tooltip using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Action

The event to be triggered or action to be executed when a control value is entered at runtime.

You can either enter the name of a custom action directly in the Action field, or you can click the browse button to open the Define Action dialog box and define an action.

More information: Define Action Dialog Box

Scale mode

Defines how the external image is displayed within the control. The following options are available:

  • Original size: The image is displayed at its original size. Its edges are cut off if the control size is smaller than the image dimensions.

  • Auto-fit: The image is resized to fill the control (the height/width ratio is not maintained).

  • Fit width: The image is resized so that the width fits in the control and the height/width ratio is maintained.

  • Fit height: The image is resized so that the height fits in the control and the height/width ratio is maintained.

  • Proportional fit: The image is resized proportionally, so that the entire image fits in the control and the height/width ratio is maintained.
