Entry in Attributes Window | Represents
--- | ---
Images: | Displays the handle names of the image controls already created. If you select an item in this list, its attributes are displayed for editing. You can also select several items for cutting and pasting.
New | Creates a new image control.
Cut | Cuts a selected image control and copies it to the clipboard. You can also cut and paste several image controls at once.
Copy | Copies the selected image control(s) to the clipboard.
Paste | Pastes one or more items from the clipboard. Note The "New" and "Paste" entries insert image controls behind the currently selected item, or, if no items are selected, at the top of the list. You deselect items by holding down CTRL while selecting the selected items.
Selected image: | In this group frame, you assign attribute values to the item selected in the "Images" list box on the left.
Name | Handle name of the image control (may be overwritten with another name).
Bitmap | BITMAP-FILE-NAME attribute value. Note This can be the name of a bitmap (*.bmp) or icon (*.ico) file.
`...` | "Source" dialog box for determining sources of BITMAP-FILE-NAME attribute values.
Background | BACKGROUND-COLOUR-NAME attribute value. If 'default' is specified, the color of the first (top-left) pixel in the bitmap determines the background color. In the case of icons, the icon's bitmap is used.
`...` | Dialog box for editing BACKGROUND-COLOUR-VALUE attribute value.
Style: |
Scaled | STYLE attribute value. Images are scaled to the requested size, rather than being either truncated or extended with the background color.
Transparent | STYLE attribute value. Image is rendered transparently. Generally, if this style is set, pixels in the background color are not drawn. However, if no explicit background color is specified, unscaled icons are instead rendered transparently using their built-in mask.
Composite image | STYLE attribute value. Image file is considered to consist of multiple images joined together horizontally. For example, if the requested image size is 16 by 16 pixels, and the bitmap is 80 by 16 pixels, it will be assumed to comprised of 5 images. If this style were not set, the image would be treated as a single 80 by 16 pixel image, which would then be either truncated or scaled to the requested image size (depending on whether the "scaled" style is set).
OK | Save settings and exit the window.
Cancel | Exit the window without saving the settings.
