Hi Pravesh,

Thanks for the information !

However, where should I put the GIF file ? And how to insert the image once I have located the related iView ?

Thanks !

Hi Patrick,

You have to place the image in following folder:

src -> mimes -> Components -> <i>(your_project_package_name)</i>, you directly go to Navigator and paste the images there. It will take the images it self.

You need not take care of inserting the image. It will directly take the path of the mime object. Just give the name of the image like: <b>abc.jpg</b>, which must be there in the specified folder. and it will display in the View as a link.

I hope this solves your problem.

Hi,

I have a similar problem, I need to link an Image to URL or an action and since the Image element doesn’t allow you to do that I tried using button or LinkToAction element , but the problem is that the Image is not showing when I pass the Image name to the ImageSource parameter even though the same Image is showing when used with Image element

Any suggestion

Are you sure you have used the exact same URL (including case) as for the Image element?

I got it this time..

it seems that I was doing it right in the first place

but it seems that an image in a button or in LinkToAction won't display in the layout so I only have to deploy and run and it will be shown

Armin , thanks for your reply

Hi Patrick,

Try and use this code for the image button:

IWDToolBarLinkToAction linkdown = (IWDToolBarLinkToAction)view.createElement(IWDToolBarLinkToAction.class,null);
		linkdown.setImageSource("//image_path");
		linkdown.setTooltip("set the Tool tip!!");
		IWDAction linkclickdown = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivatePlugFDTView.WDActionEventHandler.MAP_ACTION,"");
		linkdown.setOnAction(linkclickdown);

After this add this <b>linkdown</b> variable to the table object. [ie: tb.addToolBarItem(linkdown)], like this, where tb =

IWDToolBar tb  = (IWDToolBar)view.createElement(IWDToolBar.class,null);

I hope this helps you and solves your problem

Pravesh,

- Why do you propose to create a

ToolBar

LinkToAction?

- Why do you write this code in wdDoModifyView()?

- Why do you create the action programmatically?

Hi Armin,

I didnt get any of your question!!

Well I would have suggested him the to create a

LinkToAction

only, but it was just that I have the code for the ToolBarLinkToAction so I posted it, without knowing whether he actually need the LinkToAction in Table or not.. I should have confirmed that

>>Fragen über Fragen...

What does this mean?? Kindly translate it in Engish.

"Fragen über Fragen" means something like "So many questions". Don't worry about that

I think a better proposal would have been:

Use LinkToAction, put the image into src/mimes/components/ and set LinkToAction.imageSource to the image file name.

No need for any manual coding.
