cachePictures
Type: Boolean
Availability: Read or write at run time only
The cachePictures property of the Picture class has meaning only when the application is running in JADE thin client mode and when the picture object is attached to a physical window.
By default, setting the picture properties of a Picture or JadeMask control at run time causes those pictures to be stored in the cache file of the application server and the cache file of the presentation client unless the
However, you can set this property to false in situations where you do not require this caching because the picture is only ever downloaded once and will therefore unnecessarily add entries to those cache files. Examples of where you could set this property to false are:
-
Using the Window or Control class createPicture method to create a dynamic runtime image that is then displayed
-
Displaying a customer invoice that was scanned in
Setting this property to false affects the:
-
Picture class picture, pictureDown, and pictureDisabled properties
-
Picture class setPicture method
-
JadeMask class pictureRollOver, pictureRollUnder, and pictureMask properties
