How to create new icon / image to appear in Mobile Sales.

Question

I have a requirement to colour a field depending on its numeric value.... I realise that colour is not possible in mobile, so an alternative work around would be to use icons, or images (of three traffic lights - red, amber, green) which I could make visible using coding logic. My question is, how do I get the Tile control 'Image' to work? I have dragged the image icon across onto the capoverview4 tile, and positioned it, but the image is of nothing.... there appears to be nowhere to specify the image source (a bitmap). How do I set this up? (In the properties of the image, I have two fields Image File Binary - which has nothing in its dropdown and accepts no manually entered value, and also File Extension - which also has nothing in its dropdown and accepts no manually entered value).
I am using MDW 70SP4.

Hi Richard,
The two properties indicates the image file name and its extension type as mentioned below.
ImageFile Binary
Select the name of the image file (without its extension). If the control is bound to a data source, select the property with which you want to associate the image file binary of the control.
ImageFile Extension
Select the file extension of the image file. If the control is bound to a data source, select the property for the image control.

Navigate to Mobile Client Application Customization --> User Interface Customization --> Model a Tile --> Adding Controls to a Tile --> Defining an Image Control
Other Option is, in the application code we can define controls value as shown below
ctrlctrlProdImg.Value = "<path>" (Ex: C:\Image.jpg)
In the framework it will converted to ctrlctrlProdImg.Image = "<path>"
Better if we map the value in the application code level.
Hope this helps
