Lotus Notes: Displaying Image attachment on a document

votes

I have a field (Rich Text), that holds the value of an image attachment, but it only display the image path and filename, not as an image display. Am I using the wrong field or there's a problem in my line of code to attach the image? The code to attach is right below:

chqRSIDoc.photodoc = workspace.Openfiledialog(True, "Select a file to attach as photo: ", "", "c:\")

Appreciate all the help. Thanks!

That can't be all the code to embed the document. Show the rest of it. If it is all the code you have so far, then @umeli's answer is pointing you in the right direction. - Richard Schwartz

The openFileDialog returns just a string array. see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.0/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_OPENFILEDIALOG_METHOD_5310_ABOUT.html
I assume thatyour chqRSIDoc is of NotesDocument. If you want it as an attachment you'll have to use the NotesRichTextItem.EmbedObject function.

Here's an example in Java 

Stream stream = this.session.createStream();
            MIMEEntity body = doc.createMIMEEntity("dummy");
            MIMEHeader header = body.createHeader("Content-type");
            header.setHeaderVal("multipart/mixed");
            MIMEEntity child = body.createChildEntity();
            if (stream.open(filePath))
            {
                child.setContentFromBytes(stream, "image/jpeg", 1730);
                stream.close();
                doc.save(true, false);
                if (doc.hasItem("Body"))
                {
                    doc.removeItem("Body");
                }
                RichTextItem rt1 = doc.createRichTextItem("Body");
                RichTextItem rt2 = (RichTextItem) doc.getFirstItem("dummy");
                rt1.appendRTItem(rt2);
                rt2.remove();
                doc.save(true, false);
                recycle(rt2, rt1, child, header, body);
            }
