ICON for BUTTON1.IMAGE . . .

All --

In DESIGN / EDIT MODE I know how to change the IMAGE shown on a BUTTON in an APP.  This is shown below

I believe this can be done while the APP is running.

Specifically . . .

If I have a button called

    button_capture

and I want this button to the CAPTURE IMAGE (with the CAPTURE / IRIS icon) sometimes and the RECORD MOVIE (with RECORD / RED CIRCLE icon) depending on the state of some RADIO BUTTONS.  I want this button to be as similar to the CAPTURE and RECORD buttons in the CAPTURE WINDOW (below) as possible.

I can change the BUTTON TEXT as shown below.

I would like to know how to change the IMAGE in the BUTTON using CODE.

I assume it is something like

    button_capture.image = AAA ( BBB, CCC, DDD)

but I do not have enough information to determine what AAA, BBB, CCC, or DDD are.  I think AAA might be GETIMAGE but I am not sure.

Would someone help here please?

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

One of the solutions is that you can create ImageList with 2 images in your dialog, assign this image list to the button

The code in designer.vb:
            Me.buttonLive.ImageIndex = 2

            Me.buttonLive.ImageList = Me.imageList1

and then control ImageIndex in your macro:

            If AppModule.IsPreviewing Then

                buttonLive.ImageIndex=1

            Else

                buttonLive.ImageIndex=2

            End If

I was able to get the IMAGELIST CONTROL working.

To do so I

• Exported the DEPENDENCIES from the APP your IPX FILE
• Imported the DEPENDENCIES into my APP in my IPP FILE
• Added IMAGELIST1 to my APP
• Created 32 x 32 BMP FILES with the ICONS I wanted
• Added the BMP FILES to the IMAGELIST CONTROL
• Added the IMAGELIST to the BUTTON
• Set the INDEX in the CODE

The result works well as shown below.

Thank you for your assistance.

I was hoping to use the BUTTONX.IMAGE property and reference the ICONS already in the DLL but this method opens some other doors.

Thanks.
