The Select Button Image Files Dialog

The Select Button Image Files dialog can be displayed by clicking on the Images push button in either the Edit Toggle Button or the Edit Option Button dialogs. This dialog provides for the selection of the image files which represent the different value states of an image button (Off, On and Null). The dialog consists of one section, image files.

Image Files Section

This section presents the names of the image files that have been selected to represent the different value states of the image button. The file names can either be complete file path names, or can use the Zim file prefix characters to refer to files in specific directories (e.g. The ImagePath directory). Refer to File Path Prefix Characters for more detailed information on the directory prefixes available within the painter and Zim itself.

This field displays the selected image file type. The possible values are "Bit Map", "Icon" and (Windows) "Meta File". This field cannot be changed.
