InfoPath Dev

I have only just started using InfoPath and wanted to know if it was possible to link an image displayed in a form, to a drop down list in the same form. E.g. The drop down list contains three entries: hat, car and ball. I want the picture of a car (stored on my computer) to display when "car" is selected from the list.

Is this possible?!

Please help.

Hello

Yes You can insert the pictures in the form and using Conditional formatting hide the Pictures and can be shown only when the appropriate value is selected in the dropdownlist.

Also to display the picture on the computer you need to place the Picture control and show it as a link so that when this value is selected this control is shown and the user can browse the form on the computer using this control

I hope this helps you.

Thanks for that.

Althought doesn't this mean that all of the images i could possibly want to be displayed would need to be inserted into the form in the design mode...... and then in the preview mode all except one of the images would be hidden,.... depending on what was chosen from the list ?

Is there a way of having all the images linked to one picture box and have one image appear at a time depending on what was chosen from the list.

Thanks.

Hi,

No way of having all the images linked to one picture box and have one image appear at a time depending on what was chosen from the list.
You have to insert images in design mode, then using conditional formatting based on selected value form list, we can show the images.

Thanks.

Yeah i feared that! Ok thanks for your thoughts, maybe something that can be inproved in the 2007 release.

Thanks again.
