How can I scale a picture on an Input screen?
I created an item widget with a control type of Picture to display on an Input screen. The actual picture is larger than the area available to display it on the screen. How can I scale the picture to fit nicely in the defined space?
As of Appx 4.1.a the Picture control type for an alpha item does not let you set anything to adjust the size or aspect of the image for the item. In order to scale the image, go to change mode on the item and pull up the GUI attributes. Change the control type from Picture to Label. This will open several different attribute field for entry. Change the Icon Position field to EXPAND PROP'L. Now chage the control type back to Picture and save the changes. The Picture control will retain the Icon Position setting and scale the image to fit the defined area.
