Link a bitmap image to a Pushbutton component in the up position. The Pushbutton’s upBitmap property lets you assign a graphic to the Pushbutton component, rather than a simple text label.

Dialog box options

 

Location

Specify the image file type to be used, either:

Resource. Choose this option for a bitmap that is stored in a .DLL file, a likely place for an icon for a pushbutton. When you select this option and click the Bitmap tool button, the Choose Resource dialog box appears.

Filename. Choose this option for a bitmap that is a stand-alone file. When you select this option and click the Bitmap tool button, a Choose Image dialog box appears, from which you can choose a bitmap image file. See class Image for information on formats supported.

Bitmap

Click the tool button beside this text box to open the Choose Image dialog box to locate the particular image file.

Split bitmap

If you are using the same file for an upBitmap image and a downBitmap image (upBitmap image on the left and downBitmap image on the right), checking this box will display only the left half of the image, or the upBitmap half.

How to get there: In the Inspector, select a Pushbutton component and click the wrench tool beside the upBitmap property.
