How to: Place an Image and a Caption on a Command Button

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 
Dim ComboBox1 
 
Sub Item_Open() 
Set Label1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Label1 
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." 
 
 'Add list entries to combo box. The value of each entry matches the 
 'corresponding ListIndex value in the combo box. 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Left Top" 'ListIndex = 0 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Left Center" 'ListIndex = 1 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Left Bottom" 'ListIndex = 2 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Right Top" 'ListIndex = 3 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Right Center" 'ListIndex = 4 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Right Bottom" 'ListIndex = 5 
 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Above Left" 'ListIndex = 6 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Above Center" 'ListIndex = 7 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Above Right" 'ListIndex = 8 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Below Left" 'ListIndex = 9 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Below Center" 'ListIndex = 10 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Below Right" 'ListIndex = 11 
 
 ComboBox1.AddItem "Centered" 'ListIndex = 12 
 
 ComboBox1.Style = 2 'Use drop-down list 
 
 ComboBox1.BoundColumn = 0 'Combo box values are ListIndex values 
 ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0 'Set combo box to first entry 
 ComboBox1.Left = 18 
 ComboBox1.Top = 36 
 ComboBox1.Width = 90 
 ComboBox1.ListWidth = 90 
 
 'Initialize CommandButton1 
 CommandButton1.Left = 230 
 CommandButton1.Top = 36 
 CommandButton1.Height = 120 
 CommandButton1.Width = 120 
 
 'Note: Be sure to refer to have set the CommandButton1 to a bitmap file 
 'Note: that is present on your system 
 CommandButton1.PicturePosition = ComboBox1.Value 
End Sub 
 
Sub ComboBox1_Click() 
 Select Case ComboBox1.Value 
 Case 0 'Left Top 
 CommandButton1.Caption = "Left Top" 
 CommandButton1.PicturePosition = 0

 CommandButton1.Caption = "Right Top" 
 CommandButton1.PicturePosition = 3 
 
 Case 4 'Right Center 
 CommandButton1.Caption = "Right Center" 
 CommandButton1.PicturePosition = 4 
 
 Case 5 'Right Bottom 
 CommandButton1.Caption = "Right Bottom" 
 CommandButton1.PicturePosition = 5 
 
 Case 6 'Above Left
