In the release notes for R3 it says:
[New] [All] MenuItem: Added Icon As Picture property to the MenuItem

item. Note the default sizes for each platform, since
REALbasic will not resize the icons for you.
However there is NOTHING about this about this in the MenuItem
entry in the language reference and the release note leaves a lot
unsaid.
It's quite simple:
MenuItem.Icon= [your picture]. Drag it into the project tab at the
correct size as Rb will not scale it for you.
I want to draw them on the fly in some cases to represent state such
as for a color menuItem
What are the default sizes for each platform?
I would start with 16 X 16 Pixels and go from there.
If they know what the defaults are, would it have hurt to put them i
the language reference or the releases note? Trial and error is time
consuming!
Are there any requirements for the type of picture, are RB drawn
graphics OK or does it need to a certain platform dependent format
loaded from a file (like bmp in Windows)?
I think its requirements are the same as the Picture and Graphics
classes.
If so I could just draw them on the fly without having to save to
disk first in a specific format
I guess I'll just have to try it.
Thanks,
