Image

Images can be inserted from both the Design View and Code View. When the user is in the Design View, clicking on the Image icon in the Design bar or on the Image menu item in the WML Controls menu, displays an Open dialog box, for the user to select the corresponding .wbmp file. If OK is pressed the corresponding .wbmp file is inserted in the Design window. If Cancel is pressed, the default image is inserted in the Design window. When the user is in the Code View, clicking on the Image icon or on the Image menu item enables a properties dialog box, using which the user can set the properties for the Image. Closing of the dialog box inserts the image tag at the current cursor position of the Code view.
