Topic: Groupbox, combobox and images

Hello,

can anyone explain to me for what is GroupBox?


another question is for a project that i have, i have a combobox with two options (two names) and what i want is to when i select a name of that combobox a picture appears in the form, for example:

if i have a name Martin and John, if i choose john on the combobox it will appear the john photo and if i choose Martin it will appear Martin photo.

is this possible? is there a way to store those pictures in database and make the appear only when we select the name? or do i need to have the pictures in the project folder and make some code with the path to them?

thanks

Hello,


GroupBox need just for user interface (decorations).


I made an example for you, how to load photo using ComboBox

Hi Dmitry,

I discovered a "funny" bug with your project using MVDB 2.3 for the first time.

The textbox LastName has a reversed text justification, when you choose left, it goes to the right and vice-versa!

The funny things is that the textbox just below does not have this issue!

I changed nothing, I opened your example as it is smile The bidimode property is set to rightToleft on this txtbox straight out of the zip file.
