I like to place some pictures/buttons on top of a field and adjust the margin of the field according to the picture size.
When I do that and I give focus to the field the picture disappears. Also taking focus from the fields doesn’t always give the picture back until I go over the picture with my cursor.
The same applies to a portal and maybe all controls (I don’t know this for sure)…
Can this be adjusted?
you just want an image below a input field?
just make the field transparant and bring it to front of the image in the designer. Then the image is always shown below the field.
No, not really. I want the image on top of the field. Slightly different but necessary since I want the field to be non transparent.
I now define a field/label/button without dataprovider.
Put the image on top of it and set it to transparent.
Put a field (widht of background field - width of image) also on top of the background field.
This is three controls where it could be two or am I thinking like a father trying to solve his 13 year old son’s computer game
hmm, let’s start from top again.
What functonality are you trying to achieve?
What should we see when field is not selected?
What should we see when user klicks into this field?
What functonality are you trying to achieve?
I want to use the picture as a button and I want it to be visible based on the content of the field.
What should we see when field is not selected?
When the field is selected (or not) I always want the field to show as well as the picture. But… the problem (or challenge) lies in the fact that I want the picture/button to show as if it is in the field (see screen)

See the above…
One could say: take a label, give it an image and right align that image but… In that case the borders will look different than those of the field as shown in the picture (default).
