Drag and drop from the library

Home

4D v15.4

When your pictures are defined as a sequence of frames, you can use shortcuts to insert them as Picture Buttonsor Picture Pop-up Menus in your forms.

To create a picture button, drag the picture from the library and drop it in the form.
To create a picture pop-up menu, drag the picture from the library and drop it in the form while holding down the Shift key.
To create a standard picture, drag the picture from the library while holding down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) key.

Dragging and dropping a picture that is not defined as a sequence of frames will cause it to be inserted as a standard picture.

Note: In the Form editor, the Property List allows you to distinguish between two types of pictures: Picture Library (dynamically updated when the source picture in the library is modified), and Static Picture (not associated with the library’s source picture). Refer to “Dissociating a picture from its library source” in Using static pictures.
