Custom Images on Form


The artistic John Minyo showed how to design (or find) custom bitmap images, and use them on radio buttons, checkboxes, speedbutton, or other controls. The custom images are files that store multiple images, all the same size, which represent the different states of a control: enabled, disabled, checked, selected, etc. Each image within the custom image file is a glyph.

He also showed how, in 9.0, to use these custom images in the Glyph/layout settings for the controls, to set which image goes with each state of the control. The halloween themed skeleton heads and pumpkins on speed buttons were a special highlight.
