Conditional display of an image regarding a metadata field info

[SEALNA]

Hi all, hope my question will be clear :). I have 2 images that I would like to display depending on an attribute set on a metadata field linked to an inserted image on the board (i.e. : if in the metadata if the status = "validate" I would like for example a green check sign to be displayed, if the status ="rejected" I would like to get a red cross image instead). Is it possible ? Thanks a lot for your help! Kind regards Nathalie

Are you looking for this in an exported EPUB, or within an InDesign document?

Hi Mike, I want to do it within Indesign, thanks

Where in Metadata do you record Status?

Hi, the metada field will be created by using the sdk provided by Adobe, so they normally should display (linked) to the imported image with the Legend function. Hope I'm clear, kind regards

Did you use the XMP SDK to modify the XMP metadata within the image?

Or is this a question regarding the C++ plug-in SDK?

In that case, I'd recommend to implement a DrawEvent Handler.

Btw, please use the SDK tag for SDK related forum questions.

Mentioning SDK in the contents also helps those of us relying on mail filters.

Hi, I'm not developper but the goal is to access new metadata field generated previously and depending on teh existing value deciding to display one image or another. Kind regards

Well, my basic answer is no you can't, but otoh you might try to exploit Captions (right-click a frame for Captions) to look for a certain metadata entry and then have it place text before in a dingbats font to show a check mark or an X.
