Re: How do you vertically align a picture with a picture button control?

I know this sounds strange, but on the picture button control, set the bottom margin to -5 px.

I don't know how this will react (if at all) on a browser, but in the rich client it should resolve your issue.

OK, I did that. All cells exactly 22 X 77 px. All padding set to zero (cells and controls)

Now the picture control appears 1 px lower than the other picture button controls.

Sorry for short response, but what about if you add them to a layout table and set all padding to 0?

I am having trouble aligning an identically sized picture control and picture button control at the same vertical level. Here's what i did:

I created a new form by selecting File > New > Blank Form > Design Form.
I clicked on the text Add tables and inserted a picture (Included in the form).
I then changed the picture properties to specify a default picture from a local JPG file and set the control to Read-Only. I did not change the size of the image which is height=22px and width=77px.
I inserted a new picture button control, browsed to the same picture file.
I set the size of the picture button control to height=22px and width=77px which is the exact size of the picture canvas.

The result is that the picture is 5 px higher than the picture button control. I know this by setting a 5px bottom margin on the picture button control which aligns them correctly. Since these control are not in a table, there are no padding or alignment control available.

How do I get the picture to appear in line with the picture control button? I need for there to be no gap between these objects and the next lower object. TIA.
