Image Element
The Image Element allows you to display an image on your form, for example your organisation's logo.
You can create a hyperlink from an image by using the Element's URL property to specify the web page you want to display when the user clicks on the image.
You can see a list of pictures you have used in this project in the Project Explorer's Project tab. Expand the Resources node to see the list of images imported into this project. Right-click on an image in the tree view to display a context-sensitive menu including Add New Resource, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete and Rename options. Right-click on either an image or the Resources node to import an image file here rather than within an Image Element's properties.

Once you have placed an Image Element on a page, you can edit the Element's properties to configure the Element for your requirements. Select the Element on the page to display its properties in the Properties Pane.
The following properties are available:


Visible and Disabled Properties
Height
Allows you to specify a height for the image. If you change the height without changing the width, the width will automatically be adjusted to maintain the original aspect ratio of the image. If you leave both the height and width blank the image will be displayed at its actual size. You can change between specifying the actual value in pixels or scaling by percentages using the Use Pixels property on the Advanced tab, .
Width
Allows you to specify a width for the image. If you change the width without changing the height, the height will automatically be adjusted to maintain the original aspect ratio of the image. If you leave both the height and width blank the image will be displayed at its actual size.

A standard file browse dialog will be displayed allowing you to locate and select the required picture.
