Image List Indexes
|
Lets you specify a comma-delimited numeric string of tokens that represents images stored in the picture file selected for the Image List File Name property. The numeric value of each token is used as an index in the image list. Each icon is set for a tab according to its place in the comma-delimited string, for example, 12 (first tab), 35, (second tab), 23 (third tab), 16 (fourth tab). You can leave an empty space in the string to indicate no image, for example, 1,45, ,5.
The number of tokens in the string do not need to match the number of tabs. If there are more indexes than tabs, Magic xpa ignores the remaining indexes. If there are fewer indexes than tabs, the remaining tabs display no icon.
