Configuring Buttons to Display Images

You can associate bitmap objects with button controls to display images instead of text, much like a Toolbar icon. Unlike a Toolbar icon, however, a bitmap button control is a command button in the applet. A good example of the use of a Bitmap object with a button control in an applet is the More/Less button. The More/Less button appears in the upper-right corner of many applets. The control uses a bitmap object called BTTNS_MORE that belongs to the Bitmap Category HTML Control Icons.

To configure buttons to display images

1. Define a bitmap object.

   See Creating Bitmap Categories and Bitmap Objects.

2. Define the following properties of the button control:
   • HTML Bitmap. Defines the Bitmap object used when the button is active.
   • HTML Disable Bitmap. Defines the Bitmap object to use when the button is inactive.
