Displaying an image

1. Right-click the Image files entry on the left-hand side of the display and select Import existing:

A file browser opens with which you can locate the image you require.

2. Place an image widget on the Form:

3. Click on the image widget and select the pixmap property to enable the Resource browser button:

• Choose Resource: Select this option to open the Select Resource window from which you can select your imported image files:

• Choose File: Select this option to open a file browser with which you can select an image stored on your machine.

When you click OK (in both cases), the image widget is updated with the selected image:

Note

When you use the Choose Resource option to add an image (as opposed to selecting a file stored locally), that image is saved with the app and is therefore available on another machine if the app is exported.
