Configuring icons in dialog boxes

 

Icons are used in many of the dialog boxes. To customize the icons in these dialog boxes, you must add new icons to an external resource DLL, and assign them to the settings in the [Icons] section of the SRC file.

You can also define the bitmaps used in the Properties, Save Document As, and Page Reorder dialog boxes using the settings in the [Bitmaps] section of the SRC file.

To define a custom dialog box graphics:

1. Create a custom icon or bitmap with an ID over 4000. Add it to the external resource DLL that you are using with Imagenation. For details, see Using custom user interface graphics

2. Open the SRC file in a text editor.

3. Type in the [Icons] section title and add the required keynames for the icons you are changing. For possible keynames, see the [Icons] section.

4. Type in the [Bitmaps] section title and add the required keynames. For possible keynames, see the [Bitmaps] section.

5. Save the SRC file and compile it. (For details, see Compiling a CFG file.)
