BitmapLinks Editor
Go Up to Property Editors Index
The BitmapLinks Editor allows you to load and use your own bitmap files to customize a control for a selected platform. The only restriction: for a control, all the bitmaps have to be in the same image file.
The BitmapLinks Editor shows the default png files for the selected platform style. The default image files cannot be deleted.
Use the BitmapLinks Editor at design time to edit the TBitmapLink type properties of buttons.
