SftBox/OCX 5.0 - Combo Box Control

SftBoxCell.Image Property

Defines the graphic displayed in this cell.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftBoxCell object.

refImageObj

Defines the graphic displayed in this cell.

Comments

The Image property defines the graphic displayed in this cell.

In a fixed height combo box control, all cell picture graphics must be the same size (height and width). The dimensions of the graphics are used to calculate the minimum required height for all items, so graphics and text are never clipped vertically. To change the size of all cell graphics used, they must be removed first using the Items.ClearCellImages method.

In a variable height combo box control, the graphics can be of varying sizes. The item height is automatically adjusted so graphics are never clipped vertically.

If the image object refImageObj defines a bitmap, the top, left pixel of the bitmap must contain the bitmap's background color. This color will be replaced throughout the bitmap with the actual background (see Bitmap Transparency).

The Items.ClearCellImages method can be used to remove all cell graphics. To remove an individual cell picture, set the property to Nothing (0, null, NULL).

The position of the cell graphics is determined by the Cell.ImageHAlign and Cell.ImageVAlign properties.

Examples

VB.NET

    Dim ItemIndex As Integer
    Dim Img As SftPictureObject

    ItemIndex = AxSftBox1.Items.Selection
    If ItemIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub

    ' don't use images that are too large in the other areas
    Img = AxSftBox1.get_Cell(ItemIndex, 0).Image
    If Img.ActualHeight <= 20 And Img.ActualWidth <= 20 Then
        AxSftBox1.RowColumnHeader.Image = Img
        AxSftBox1.get_Header(1).Image = Img
    Else
        AxSftBox1.RowColumnHeader.Image.Clear()
        AxSftBox1.get_Header(1).Image.Clear()
    End If
