Project Properties - Bitmaps

The Bitmaps page is used to maintain a list of bitmaps that will be linked into the compiled application. The information that is maintained here is stored in the project's .cfg file in the [Bitmaps] section.

Bitmap List

The Bitmap List at the top of this page displays a scrolling list of all bitmaps to be linked with this application. The list cannot be edited directly, but when you select a row, the name and path are displayed in the corresponding edit boxes.

Name

This is a unique identifier for each bitmap in the bitmap list. This can be any valid identifier and does not need to be the same as the bitmap's filename.

Path

This is the filename of the selected bitmap. If the bitmap file is located in one of the compiler's make paths, then you can omit the pathname for that file. The path will be resolved during linking. If the file is not located in one of the make paths, then you need to include the path as part of the filename.

Click the prompt "…" button to launch an Open File dialog for browsing directories for your desired bitmap.

Preview

Clicking this button pops up a modal dialog that displays the selected bitmap. If the bitmap file is invalid or cannot be opened, an appropriate error message is displayed.

Add Row

Adds a blank row to the bitmap list and selects it for editing.

Delete Row

Deletes the selected row from the bitmap list.
