Image Control Design-Time Considerations

This list discusses how to use the design-time properties that are particularly useful for image controls:

  • Clickable

    If you want to make the image control act as a button (that is, fire the Button Clicked event when the user clicks it), enable this option. The option does not automate the image, however. Hence, the user receives no feedback when he or she clicks the control unless you add logic on the Button Clicked event to that end.

  • Maintain Aspect Ratio

    Select this option to maintain the height-to-width ratio of the image when you resize it.

  • Prevent Resizing

    Select this option to prevent your accidentally resizing the image during design-time.

  • Tool Tip

    To display text when the user hovers over the control, enter the text you want to show in this property field.
