The following example uses a ComboBox to show the picture placement options for a control. Each time the user clicks a list choice, the picture and caption are updated on the CommandButton. This code sample also uses the AddItem method to populate the ComboBox choices.
To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:
- A Label named Label1.
- A CommandButton named CommandButton1 with the Picture property set to use an image on your computer.
- A ComboBox named ComboBox1.
Dim Label1
Dim CommandButton1

Set CommandButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").CommandButton1
Set ComboBox1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").ComboBox1
Label1.Left = 18
Label1.Top = 12
Label1.Height = 12
Label1.Width = 190
Label1.Caption = "Select picture placement relative to the caption."
