I'm trying to create an Infopath form which allows a user to attach multiple
images and mark them up.
Example use case: Using a tablet pc and digital camera, an insurance
adjuster takes pictures of a damaged car, attaches them to an InfoPath form,
and draws arrows and boxes to indicate where the damage occurred. Any
annotations should be stored with the picture. (Diagrams won't suffice here,
they would need to markup the actual photo, and the photo must be uploaded at
runtime).
I've tried using a picture control in conjunction with an ink picture
control. Both controls are bound to the same node in the xml doc. Since
both controls display base64 content, this seems like it should work. The
picture control allows me to upload an image and encodes it to base64, and
the ink picture would allow me to mark it up. Oddly, it only works one-way.
If I sketch on the ink picture, my sketch renders on the picture control.
However, if I upload a picture on the picture control first, the rendering
doesn't appear in my ink picture control.
I suspect that I would need to understand what format (jpg,gif,bmp, etc)
that the ink picture control understands. Any additional info would be very
much appreciated...
