MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2004Button and Insert Image
Hello, How would I program a button to insert a specific picture into a field? Example: User has a digital image of their personal signature. After completing the form, they can add this image to a field by clicking a button. -TFTH Bryan The Picture control has this functionality built right into it. When you have a Picutre control in your view, the form user clicks on that, and it allows them to select a picture. That picture is then inserted. If you want multiple pictures, makre sure your Picture control is in a Repeating Group.

If your server is an HTTP server, you can use XMLHTTP (I'm assuming you're using script) to GET the data, then use a nodetypedvalue to base64 encoded the data and copy it into the InfoPath form. With the .NET framework, use the WebClient and Convert.ToBase64String. --Matthew Blain http://tips.serriform.com/ > My local file server > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > -TFTH > > Bryan If all you want is a UI warning, use Rules (or the OM) to show an Alert when that field changes. If you need to do more things (like verifying the image), you can turn off user's ability to insert images while you're designing a form. Then, your code will have to cover all the file browsing (req. trusted form), Base64 encoding and DOM insertion. Brian Anyone else want to jump in here?

If you put your file server on the same domain as your form, you might be able to avoid trusted form requirements. But there's definitely some code to go and fetch the image and encode it via Base64.
