I need to have some images inside a scrolling field. Each image needs to
have 2 lines of text to the right of it.
How many options do I have? From what I'm reading able fields, it appears
that I can:
1) Use a table-field object, put a char in column 1 and set the
"imagesource" of that char. Then put my text that is to appear to the right of that
image into column 2. I set the fixedlineheight to FALSE so that the image
height fits in the table.
2) Use a regular field object - - - which I initially tried. I used the
same technique as in #1 above. The problem is that I can't seem to position
more than 1 line of text to the right of the image. (and it's bottom-aligned)
3) Use HTMLtext somehow - - - except that HTML tables in fields don't work,
so I ruled out that idea.
4) Dynamically create graphic objects and text objects, and group them via
code as they are drawn and put a scrollbar on the group. I really don't want
to go that route.
Do I have any other options?
