Paul,

I'm sorry: I forgot a very important line in the handler I proposed:

on SetImageSource pImageName,pField,pChar, pHeight
  create invisible image
  set the botright of last image to -1,-1
  put image pImageName into last image
  set the lockloc of last image to true
  set the name of last image to pImageName & "Thumb"
  set the height of last image to pHeight
set the width of last image to (the width of img "Ref" / the height of img "Ref") * pHeight
  set the imagedata of last image to the imagedata of last image
set the imageSource of char pChar of fld pField to pImageName & "Thumb"
end SetImageSource

The important line to add is: set the imagedata of last image to the imagedata of last image This allow to reduce the size of the"thumbnail" image to its actual size: 2 KB or less whatever can be the size of the original image :-)

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for Paris :-)

If you
show an image of another opened stack in your button (as icon), the size maybe bigger but results dropped and it's OK; in a field as imagesource,
it's not dropped and 'invades' the field.

As far as I know, images used as icons in buttons or placed in fields are never resized.
Fortunately :-)

As for me I would use something like:

on SetImageSource pImageName,pField,pChar,pHeight
  create invisible image
  set the botright of last image to -1,-1 -- off-screen
  put image pImageName into last image
  set the lockloc of last image to true
  set the name of last image to pImageName & "Thumb"
  set the height of last image to 14
set the width of last image to (the width of img "Ref" / the height of img "Ref") * pHeight set the imageSource of char pChar of fld pField to pImageName & "Thumb"
end SetImageSource

And then I would use for instance:  SetImageSource "Ref","Test",3,14
Where Ref is the name of an original image, Test the name of a field, 3 the char number and 14 the height I want for the image in the field.
