"ImagePresenter.Static bitmap" missing

In the View Toolbox of the View Composer there is no
"ImagePresenter.Static bitmap" there is only an "ImagePresenter.Static
icon".

Joseph,

StaticBitmap is still in the list, just not by the name of
StaticBitmap. Its under the following:

ImagePresenter.Default view...

Double click on it and you will see that it holds a StaticBitmap.

Pax,

To display my bitmaps, I was using "ImagePresenter.Basic image" and this
one doesn't display its content in the View Composer ...

Thanks

Joseph,

I have noticed this as well and its somewhat annoying to place images
on a view in the View Composer and not be able to see how things
actually look. I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with
how the VC works with a shadow of the real view (hidden) and how
messages are being intercepted by the VC.

If this is the case, you might consider switching to StaticBitmap. I
use this in conjunction with ImagePresenter.Default view. Initially,
the images do not get rendered in the VC, but I edit the value aspect
which contains DIBSection and change it to OLEPicture. OLEPicture will
render your images/graphics rendered within the VC on your view(s). I
use jpeg files as they have a smaller footprint and load much faster.

One drawback is that you will lose the view mode properties for normal,
centered, scale and scale to fit. I get around this by designing my
graphics/artwork with appropriate art tools.

Hope this helps...

This is a bug. To fix it just copy down (using drag&drop) the method
View>>wmPrintClient:wParam:lParam: from View to ImageView.

Thanks
