Detail on separate view from Master

E

Elmer Miller

I have a view that contains a repeating section with a picture control that
allows users to add muliple pictures. I have the pictures limited in size in
this view so that they will scale down to thumbnail size. I would like to
add a button next to each picture that will switch to another view to show
the full-size picture. I know a master /detail control can do this on a
single view, but How can I have the detail be on a separate view from the
master? If I make the master table not visible the detail is hidden too, so
this won't work. Also I don't know how to programatically set which row of
the master is selected. Any guidance or tips in this area would be
appreciated.

Follow these steps

1. Insert a Picture control in both the views
2. Bind both controls to same field in the data source
3. Customize the size of the control in View 1 to that of your thumbnail
4. Add a button in the view 1 and open the button properties
5. Add a rule and add action as “Switch views†to view 2

Now the Picture will be shown as thumbnail in view 1 and click on button
takes you to view 2 and shows the same picture in original size as they are
binded to same field in the Data source

Hope this will help you.
