Resource Manager

TPDesign4 (v3.2 or higher)

Working With Dynamic Images

Use the Dynamic Images tab of the Resource Manager (see FIG. 60 on page 64) to manage dynamic image

files.Dynamic Images are images that exist on an HTTP server or FTP server, external to the panel.

To use dynamic images in your project, specify a URL rather than a directory path to a static image file.

Dynamic images can be applied to all button types except Computer Control and Text Area buttons.

The Dynamic Images tab of the Resource Manager dialog provides a convenient way to import and

preview all dynamic image files to be used in your project.

Dynamic images can be refreshed at specified regular intervals or via the Panel > Refresh

Dynamic Images option.

Use the Scale Bitmap To Fit state property to automatically scale (down only) the dynamic image to

fit the button in which it is being displayed.
