How to visualize a field as an Image set on a form.
This Visualization type is useful to provide a more visual means of selecting values from a list.
Through the Field Component source add a Picklist visualization ( PRIM_EVPL ) and a Picklist. Note that these are separate classes in the Field source. Add picklist items to represent nationalities and attach an image to each picklist item.Change the Appearance property of the PRIM_EVPL to ImageAndText. Save the field and use the VisualPicklist class on a form.
