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.

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

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.

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