-/** specifies the model of a control used for displaying images stored in a database.
-
- <p>As every <type scope="com::sun::star::form">DataAwareControlModel</type>, an image control
- can be bound to a database field. This means that for instance with every record change, the content
- of the database field is taken, interpreted as image, and displayed in the control.<br/>
- Unlike other more text-based controls, it does not interpret the content of the field as text or double,
- but as binary stream (see <member scope="com::sun::star::sdb">XColumn::getBinaryStream</member>).</p>
-
- <p>Usually, an image control model can be bound to binary columns only, namely
- <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType::BINARY</member>,
- <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType::VARBINARY</member>,
- <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType::LONGVARBINARY</member>,
- <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType::OTHER</member>,
- <member scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">DataType::LONGVARCHAR</member></p>
-
- <p/>
-
- <p>Note that besides taking the image to be displayed from the bound field, there is another option. The
- <member scope="com::sun::star::awt">UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL</member> property specifies
- the URL of an image to be displayed. If this property is changed from outside, the respective file
- is loaded and set as image source.</p>
-
- <p>In a usual data form, the scenario will be as follows:
- <ul><li>There is a DatabaseImageControl as part of the document model, which acts as
- control model for an <type scope="com::sun::star::form::control">ImageControl</type>.</li>
-
- <li>The control is an <type scope="com::sun::star::awt">XImageConsumer</type> for the
- <type scope="com::sun::star::awt">XImageProducer</type> supplied by the model.</li>
-
- <li>Whenever the form's cursor is positioned on a new record, the column the control
- model is bound to is examined for a binary data stream. This stream is set as source
- at the image producer, which notifies it's consumers, which leads to the control
- displaying the image.</li>
-
- <li>When the user by some interaction tells the control to contain a new image, this is
- exchanged by URL. For example, implementations of the control service may allow the user
- to browse for image. After this, the URL of the image is set as
- <member scope="com::sun::star::awt">UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL</member>
- property at the model.<br/>
- Now the control loads the image determined by the property value, and starts producing
- a new data stream, which is displayed by the control (which is a consumer for this stream).<br/>
- From now on, the control and thus the database record counts as modified. If the cursor of the
- form is moved further, the modified record is saved, means the content of the image pointed to
- by <member scope="com::sun::star::awt">UnoControlImageControlModel::ImageURL</member>
- is saved into the column.</li>
- </ul>
- </p>
