Summary: Describes how to add an icon to a custom component to represent it in the IDE.

You can add an icon to a custom component to represent it in the IDE when you install the component on the "Tool Palette".

To add an image

  • Create an icon image for your component and save it as a bitmap image file with exactly the same name as your component.

 Note: The IDE will not associate the bitmap with the component unless the name of the image is the same as the component.

  • Create an "icons" subfolder in you project folder under the Delphi for PHP  "vcl" folder.
  • Copy your bitmap image file to the "icons" subfolder.
  • Open the package file for the component in the "Code Editor".
  • Modify the path in "setIconPath()" to point to the "icons" subfolder for the project.
