Hi,
Could somebody please tell me how to set the icon of a Tab in Tabworkspace of the CommandBar at run time. Please note I know that ShowIcons shows the Form Icon. I need to assign the Icons from CommandBars.Icons to the appropriate tab particularly as some forms have multiple uses. The help file states that if I use TabControlItem I should be able to set 'Image' of an Item.
e.g.
Set/Get the image that will be displayed in the tab when the ShowIcons property is set to True. This is the index of an image within an imagelist.
There is no way I can find to link an imagelist to the TabWorkspace. I think it should pickup the Icons from the CommandBar but it aint workin
 I simply cannot make this work.
I can load an icon from disk at runtime but that is overkill as I have used the Designer to create everything already I would be loading up the users HDD with extras that are not needed. gettin really annoyed can you tell Lol!!!!------------- Boris Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.4.0 16.3.1 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 VS 2005-2008-2010-2013 |

Hi Oleg,
Thanks for the reply. I think that this would be a very worthwhile addition to its functionality. i.e. produce a real icon that is compatible with the Form. Without it it really makes little sense to use the Designer. The Designer does a fantastic job of packaging everything together in one place. But to have to ship all the icons again just to add them to the tab when its in the commandbar already is just plain daft. Do you agree that this functionailty should be added?
Best regards

Hi, Anyway you can't draw our icon in topleft part of MDI Child frames. So to make it same as TabWorkspace you will need set Icon property. ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |

Hi Oleg,
If you provide a method to extract an Icon as a real Icon that would be nice.
Then instead of:
It would just save having to distribute more graphics than needed. At the moment I provide the Designer *fxcb and also all the icons as an external source too. If you can do this it would be so brilliant my distro would be far smaller! Some icons are huge yet the xcb file seems to handle these icons in such a way that the file is far smaller than the total size of all the icons. Regards,

Oleg, you agreed to make TabWorkspace tabs allow Markup some months ago. Is this not possible? ------------- ExtremeSuitePro 12.1.1 WinXP SP3 |
