Tip of the Day: Loading Images in Drop-Down and Bit Buttons
Product: R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64)
Build..: 9.5.1.10317 or higher
Section: Form Designer
Did you know that you can load images in Drop-Down and Bit Buttons
from an executable (.EXE), Dynamic Link Library (.DLL), OCX file,
or icon (.ICO) file?
Using R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), the Drop Down Menu Button and Bit
Button permit the ability to load a glyph from an executable (.exe),
dynamic link library (.dll), OCX file, or icon (.ico) file. A 32x32
or 16x16 pixel glyph can be displayed.
In addition, the Drop Down Menu Button and Bit Button now provide
alpha channel support to display a greater level of transparency
for glyphs used on the buttons. A new attribute "Blend Image"
allows this capability. The highest benefit of using alpha channel
is visual appeal. Without alpha channel support, images would have
a blocky jagged edge to them, like displayed below for the button
on the left. This allows for the buttons to support PNG images in
addition to BMP.
Stay Productive, My Friends!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
