Solved Image on page tab (1 Viewer)

[Krayna]

I would like to display an image on the page tab in my form. However each time I select my chosen image, it does not appear on the tab. Any ideas how to get round this issue?
I actually had a similar issue a while back and posted here.

What are the steps you're taking when you try? You said the image does not appear, what do you get instead?

 

[Krayna]

Nothing appears at all.

Nothing appears at all.

So, how exactly were you trying to add the image? What were the steps?

the name of the image is saved in MSysResources table.
you can use Name field to set the picture.

me.pageName.Picture = "theImageName"

Great so where do I find the MSysResources table?
EDIT: I accessed the system tables but that one didn't show up.

EDIT 2: I have located the table but it only shows those images which I have uploaded to the DB. I am trying to use a system icon. Where would I locate it?

The MSysResources table stores the images you add to the Image Gallery. Is that what you were trying to do? If not, please tell us the steps you were taking when you're trying to add an image to your database. If possible, maybe post some screenshots too.

If you just want to have your own icon, try going to File > Options > Current Database > Application Icon

I don't know if I made myself clear.
I am trying to add a system icon to the page tab in a form. I would like it to display dynamically depending on certain conditions so would like to know how I can locate it.

sorry, the image will be saved to MSysResources when you load an external
image (as "shared" picture type).

if you use internal images, you can use this technique.

To help make yourself a little clearer, at least in my humble opinion, you could provide the exact steps you were taking when you were trying to add a system icon to your tab page. Otherwise, since we cannot see what you're looking at, and we can't see what you're doing, we can't tell what it is you may be doing wrong. Even some screenshots might help make yourself clearer. What do you mean by "system icon?"

@arnelgp is the nearest to what I'm looking for so I've based my technique on his approach.
Thanks

Hi. Glad to hear you got it sorted out. @arnelgp has always been a good guesser. Good luck!

This is something I will definitely use; simple yet very effective & useful... Thanks for sharing...
