SftPictureObject.Appearance Property

Defines the image object using a built-in, special purpose image.

Syntax

object

A SftPictureObject object.

Style

Comments

The Appearance property defines the image object using a built-in, special purpose image.

The SftPictureObject.Type property is set to sftTypeBuiltin.

The SftPictureObject.Height and SftPictureObject.Width properties should be used to define the requested image size. The SftPictureObject.ActualHeight and SftPictureObject.ActualWidth properties reflect the image dimensions.

Example

This example adds a checkbox to the second tab. Clicking on the checkbox doesn't change the active tab (because of the call to CancelMode), but toggles the checkbox instead.

Private Sub Form_Load()
     With SftTabs1.Direct
         .Style = styleSftTabsModernTop
         .Tab(1).Image.Appearance = sftImageCheckboxNo
     End With
End Sub

Private Sub SftTabs1_TabClicked(ByVal DblClick As Boolean, ByVal TabClicked As Integer, ByVal TabArea As SftTabsLib.SftTabsTabAreaConstants)
    With SftTabs1.Direct
        If TabArea = tabareaSftTabsImage Then
            If .Tab(TabClicked).Image.Appearance = sftImageCheckboxNo Then
                .Tab(TabClicked).Image.Appearance = sftImageCheckboxYes
                .CancelMode
            ElseIf .Tab(TabClicked).Image.Appearance = sftImageCheckboxYes Then
                .Tab(TabClicked).Image.Appearance = sftImageCheckboxNo
                .CancelMode
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub
