Hi Géza,

it doesn't come built-in, but you can quickly create your own custom visual object.

For example, place a picture to the left of a textbutton, maybe framed into a border, no limit to what you can do.

Then, have instance variables to set picture name and label, and implement the constructor to use them.

From now on, use your VO instead of picture buttons.

Code once, use multiple times.

Best,

Hi Géza,

as i know there is no native control to display a picture next to the text.
You can use the free edition of pb ultimate suite (command button):

Maybe there is something like this planned as new control, Armeen could answer that question, when he is reading this.

Regards,

Tobi

"maybe framed into a border"

I cannot speak or write very good in English. 

Could you describe it in details.

What object is the border?

Hi,

by border I mean the black rectangle around the static text object, it is just an example.

You can make it a little nicer than default rectangular border by using a RoundRectangle control.

But, as I said, it is just a hint.

Best,

Hi Geza;

  Menu objects & Tab controls can do this natively. Other than that, I would recommend looking at Marco's suggestion as a User Object implementation.
