Multiple pictures for current status display in a form

[Martin J.]

Hello,

I tryed to look through several groups but haven't found a genius hint
yet. Hope you can help me.

I would like to create a MS-Access form that reads data from an online
system, showing the status of various machines (running, pausing,
actual product and so on). I would like to show on the form a symbol
for each machine. This symbol should be depending on additional status
information. For example a red machine for a stopped machine, a green
for a running... I don't want to use just a simple rectangle but a
jpg or gif.
The next problem is, that I have a dynamic amount of these machines.

Is there a activeX control that can contain several pictures where I
just have to say: select picture No1 or No2?

Thanks for your help

Martin

Martin,

A Flex Grid Control will probably do what you want. Have a look at -

for some examples.

Thanks for your answer. The FlexiGrid is a very nice control, seems to
be quite powerful but it is not what I'm looking for. It is more a
control that can contain several images where it is possible to switch
the active image.

A FlexGrid control can do that, and I don't know of any other control
that can. But it's your choice, of course.
