MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2008Display picture with button press
I have a form that users will fill out to document their Top 10 customers. One of the criteria is for them to select a checkbox if a customer is "strategic". I want to have a button at the bottom of the form, that when pressed, displays a picture, whether as a popup or in a dialog box (don't know if that's possible) that will show users how to determine if that customer is indeed strategic. So when the button is clicked, the chart will appear sort of as a popup, but not imbedded in the form itself. Any ideas? You could use a message box to create a rudimentary table, maybe, but probably the best scenario is to put a section in with conditional formating that it only appears when the button is pressed. This then can be formatted nice. It also could be a seperate view that would appear dedicated to this. They would press the button and then the view would change, they make their selection and return to the main view and the selection would be done and they coudl continue. So either a section which appears and then hides again or a view.

If your form is a browser-form, you can use JScript to display a popup that will contain an HTML page with the image. To display a popup from a browser-form, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555990 (Example 2). If your form is a normal form, you should be able to host it in a WinForms application and display a dialog box with an image. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa701079.aspx You should also be able to write managed code (either VB.NET or C#) and display a dialog box with an image when the button is clicked. You'll need to include the System.Windows.Forms namespace in your form's code file. --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > I have a form that users will fill out to document their Top 10 > customers.
