<QUOTE>
I need to display a variable number of stored bitmaps on a form. Has anybody any ideas for the best way to do this?

The bitmaps are scanned signatures that need to be verified.

Thanks.

<QUOTE>Hi Peter

Doesn't sound too tricky.  I would say set up a number of bitmaps on the form, in the place and of the size you want, but make them invisible.  When the record gets read, you will have to use Set_Property(Ctrl, 'BITMAP', Pathtofile) to the name of the signature bitmap file, and of course set the control to VISIBLE.



That is nice and easy if you can fit the "Maximum" number of signatures onto a form.  If not, you could simulate "scrolling" by having a "Next 4 Signatures" kind of button



Hope that helps

Robert

<QUOTE>I had thought of that but wanted to avoid empty space on the form. I tried to use the EDITTABLE control as this is supposed to support a BITMAP property but I can't get it to display properly despite following the help example.

<QUOTE>I've answered this myself. You need to set ROWHEIGHT to an appropriate value and the it works using the EDITTABLE control.
