Datagrid - reference an image in a column that's stored in a database

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Shawn,
The Datagrid manual has examples of how to customize a column, you can find
it at http://lessons.runrev.com/m/datagrid

There isn't an exact example of what you want to do but It will get you
started with how to customize a column to contain an image (or any other
type of control), and also how to customize the FillInData handler.

Once you've figured that out, the code to set the image from the link is
pretty easy, something like (not tested)

put URL ("binfile:" && <the link>) into tData
set the text of <yourimage> to tData
