Default Dropdown list for Images?


I was just wondering whether it was possible to have a dropdown list with images, if so, how would that be done?

It would be possible to have a dropdown content control with text (e.g. the image name) that, when selected, gets replaced with an image from a file on disk, but you couldn't then choose a different item from the dropdown - since it gets replaced with a different kind (e.g. 'picture' or 'rich text') containing the image. Given the complexity and inflexibility, you may as well just use a picture content control and let the user select the image from it's dialogue box.

Done. There's an option on the 'Thread Tools' dropdown, but you may not have access to it yet.
