No Image

Okay, I have tried multiple times and multiple ways to do something with the ugly white Edge Browser Control if there is not an image listed. I've tried setting .visible to false. I've tried setting the background color with html. I've tried getting a solution from ChatGPT, and nothing works. Anyone have any ideas? I really hate seeing that ugly white Edge Browser control if there isn't a web link.

I am assuming you have a field with the path to the image or URL. Just check the contents of that field. `If IsNull(myImage) Or myImage = "" Then WB.Visible = False Else WB.Visible = True End If`

Another approach might be to use a "default" image for records with no image associated, like a silhouette or graphic that says No Image Available.

Kevin I tried that, but could never get it to work. Once I hit a link that was blank, it would hide, but I could never get it to show again.

Matt I tried that, but it would not let me use a .jpg because from what I could tell is those won't work with the Edge web control.

Where did you put the code? On Current event?

	Sandra Truax OP @Reply 2 months ago
Kevin I put it in the form's On Current Event. When I select a book in my cont. form, the image updates, until I hit one whre I don't have an image, then the Web Control hides, but when I got to an other book with an image, the control comes back but at most the image will just flash the goes away.

I finally found a solution that works, altought Richard would call it cheesy. I set the Web Control height to 0 if the field is null or blank, and set the height again for when it is not null. This is working every time, but I still can't figure out why the .visible won't. I've used that lots of time on fields and buttons, and it worked perfect. Just can't get it to work right for an Edge Web control.

Sandra - another option, also cheesy that seems to work is changing the "displaywhen" property. Example: EBC.DisplayWhen = 1 0 = Always 1 = Print Only 2 = Screen Only As long as you're only using it on screen, switching to print only will hide it just like the visible property.

Donald I did not know this. I'll give that a try. Might be a lot easier than trying to figure out the height for when I want to see it. Thanks.
