OpenEdge Development:<br />Progress Dynamics Administration Using PicClip images for custom toolbars

If you have created your own toolbar images, Progress Software Corporation recommends that you use your own toolbar PicClip image rather than appending your images to the Dynamics-supported PicClip image file (toolclip.bmp). You can specify the PicClip image file, along with the offsets and image size, using the Toolbar and Menu Designer. The Toolbar and Menu Designer allows you to specify images either from a PicClip image file or a single image file, and you can specify primary and alternate versions of each.

Open the Toolbar and Menu Designer and select an item that requires an image, as shown:

Click the down-arrow button next to the Image1 (primary image) field and select PicClip1 from the pop-up menu.

In the PicClip1 field, specify an image file (relative pathname) together with the X and Y offset, the width, and the height (in pixels) in the following comma-delimited format:

Syntax
`image-pathname`,`X-offset`,`Y-offset`,`width`,`height`

You can also specify the relative pathname of a separate image file containing a single image (if provided), using the Image1 field. At run time, Dynamics attempts to load the PicClip image before loading any separate image specified for Image1.

If you have one, you can repeat Step 3 to specify an alternate image using the Image2 and PicClip2 fields.

Note: The specified PicClip image file information is stored in the fields gsm_menu_item.image1_down_filename and gsm_menu_item.image2_down_filename for the primary and alternate images, respectively.
