Attribute values

RocketRod

Support when displaying an attribute in a grid there are several options such as Value only,icon only or icon and value. Is there anyway and if not could it be added sometime that when you use the expression such as

<<BO.atribute>> that you could have the same options.

So something like <<BO.attribute.icon>> etc

I use <<BO.attributeicon>>....

RocketRod

Thanks Powerm but i can't get it to work. I get unresolved object. Tried both icon and Icon but neither works. Any thoughts? Let's say My BO is called Time and the attribute is Person. It has an icon associated with its presentation. So I have tried

<<Time.PersonIcon>> and <<Time.Personicon>> but I believe it is looking for an attribute called Personicon? How did you get it to work? Or are you storing the icon in a separate attribute maybe?

I am sorry, I don't understand the question - using the expression where?

RocketRod

I want to have the same options when placing a caption on a form as I do when working with a query or reference grid.

You can do this <<Time.Person>> in a caption and it works fine. That is the value of the attribute is placed there.

However when working in a gird you have the three options value only , icon only or value and icon to put in a column. I want to place the icon for the attribute not its value in my form caption.

Powerm suggested he could do it but it wont work for me.

This is not supported currently

"are you storing the icon in a separate attribute maybe? "
Yes it's correct I store it separately.
Sample :
Time.Person ( Plain Text )
Time.PersonIcon ( Image )

In your queries you can choose to show the "Time.PersonIcon" , it will work. You can as well use it in your HTML presentations.
An other good thing is to add some Rules :
If Time.PersonGender=Male Then Time.PersonIcon='Male.jpeg'
AwareIM will dynamically pick-up the correct icon like this HTML code :

<img src="<<TimePersonIcon>>.jpeg" alt="Gender" height=" 42"

Thanks Powerm. I'll do it that way until maybe support add in this existing capability for us.
