About this task

A Picture object is created and the ImageSource property is displayed in the Properties view and is automatically updated with the name of the stock image.
- From the Palette view, select the Picture object
and insert it in your visual project. In the Properties view,
click the ImageSource property cell. Type the
name of the stock image using the stockImage() function
as follows:
=stockImage("My_Image")whereMy_Imageis the name of a stock image that you have added to the Images folder for the project.
The picture in your visual project displays the specified stock image. You can then modify additional object properties such as image scaling.
