Button and Insert Image

B

Bryan Hughes

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.

How can you control the picture that they can insert without showing it as
the default image?

The reason for the button is to add a UI message before inserting the image.
How can I do this?

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.

What's the source of the image you want to insert?

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.

Then it's the method I described below. 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.

Just as Brian mentions elsewhere on this thread, you'll need to write code
to do this. 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.
