Once you have selected an image (or multiple images), the Image List Editor will display the icon you have added. This will display a standard Windows Open File dialog, where you may select a bitmap (.BMP) image from one of the glyFX folders. Part 3 - Adding icons to the ImageList Step 1ĭouble click the ImageList component to invoke the Image List Editor.Ĭlick the Add button in the Image List Editor window. You may set the BkColor property to force a different colour (or set it to the glyFX native clFuchsia colour) if you wish. It makes the colour present at the bottom left pixel transparent throughout the image. Both dimensions must be the same.ĭelphi can automatically work out the transparency colour of the icon. Using the Object Inspector window, edit the Height and Width properties properties to the required size (depending on which sets you own, this may be 16, 24, 32, 48 or 64). Part 2 - Setting ImageList properties Step 1 Select the ImageList control from the tab, and click on the form to insert the component. Select the Win32 tab in the Delphi Component Palette. This method is not as efficient as using Image Lists, but is sometimes necessary as some controls are not compatible with Image Lists. The selected control will directly store the image resource. Part 3 - Adding icons to the Image ListĮmbedding an image directly into a control is a fast way of assigning icons to your user interface elements.This guide is broken up into 4 seperate parts If you use a particular image on more than one control it also lets you store just one copy of the image within the application, rather than within each control. The advantage is that you can edit the images in the Image List, and the controls will automatically update if you have made any changes to those icons. Image Lists allow you to keep a single object that contains all of your icons in one place. There are two main mechanisms for adding icons on your controls, image lists and embedding into controls. There may be small cosmetic interface differences, however the procedure remains the same. The steps apply to any version from 2 to 7. This document outlines the basic procedure on how to use the glyFX toolbar images with Borland Delphi.
