Drag and drop from the library

4D v17.4

When the Split option is selected for the pictures (cf. Creating thumbnails), 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.

Dragging and dropping a picture that is not Split 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.
