Can someone show me how to load an image into a cell (based on a conditional). I want to show a green checkmark if some cell is "true" and blank otherwise.

This is not for editing purposes. All the docs and everything I could find related to images seems to be only about making cells editable.

Any help?

Surely this is something that can be done. Can anyone offer me some hints?

Hello Rottweiler,

Yes this can be done, I do it all the time for exactly the same reasons -- in a grid showing what's what (but no in-line editing) I hate to see True/False or Yes/No, so I handle it this way (your syntax may vary)

"Active" is a boolean field in my data; set the image

If Active
ActiveImage = "<img border='0' src='" + path and name of checked image + "' alt='' />"
Else
ActiveImage = "<img border='0' src='" + path and name of empty checkbox + "' alt='' />"
EndIf

If you are going to edit these records in a form, then add a hiddenfield with the raw data

lcActive = Iif(Active,'Yes','No')

Incude both fields in your output string

lcXMLContent = lcXMLContent ;
+ CRLF + [<row id = "] + somerowID value + [">] ;
several other fields on this row
+ CRLF + "<cell><![CDATA[" + lcActive + "]]></cell>" ;
+ CRLF + "<cell><![CDATA[" + lcActiveImage + "]]></cell>" ;
+ CRLF + [</row>]

Hope this helps

Thanks, Reg.

Do I understand that all the code you're showing is running server side? So you are (simplifying) just poking an 'img' tag into the cell contents? Is that the gist?

Sorry, wasn't clear. Yes, this code comes from my server-side program that creates the html (or xml string) and all it really needs is to include an img tag into the returned data.

Hi Rottweiler,

You could also do it client-side, by using a custom validator.

Cheers,
Michael
