How to open an image file after clicking on Picture Box?

Hello Everybody,

I am using picture boxes to display 4 images loaded from files. The size of images needs to be reduced for displaying purposes. However, I would like to open an original image file after clicking on the image displayed in the picture box. I would appreciate for hints how to do that.

Best regards.

//initially no images
img1 = empty();
img2 = empty();
img3 = empty();
img4 = empty();
New Window("Images",             
  H List Box(
  Panel Box("El 1",  //place for EL images
   EL1 = Picture Box(img1),    
  ),
  Panel Box("El 2",
   EL2 = Picture Box(img2),
  ),
  Panel Box("El 3",
   EL3 = Picture Box(img3),
  ),
  Panel Box("El 4",
   EL4 = Picture Box(img4),
  ),
);
//here images will be opened
//img1 = open("D:\image.tif", tif);
//img1 << set size({image_w_new, image_h_new});
//EL1 << set image (img1);

Re: How to open an image file after clicking on Picture Box?

Thank you for suggestions and code! With opening of an original image I meant opening the file for example in Paint in order examine details of image in original size. Is there way to do that? Regards

EDIT:

Actually I could create a new window and then open the image again but in original size.

EDIT:

Ok, I managed to open the new window and display the image (using Paint or something another is actually not necessary). I am providing code from vince_faller with very small changes, maybe it will be helpful for somebody. Thank you once again.

Names default to here(1);
//initially no images
img1 = empty();
img2 = empty();
img3 = empty();
img4 = empty();

New Window("Example",             
    V List Box(
  H List Box(
  mb = MouseBox(
   Panel Box("El 1",  //place for EL images
    EL1 = Picture Box(img1),    
   ),
   <<SETTRACKENABLE></SETTRACKENABLE>

Could use a mousebox.  But understand that the mousebox will make you lose other mouse functionality for that object (context menus, selecting graphs, etc)
