It would be nice if the image selection could be faster. Currently, changing an
image is awkward, involving selecting each TImage individually (you can't select
multiple and change the image), then clicking Load, locate the image, click OK,
click OK.

If I just change the image name text, it complains there is no such image, but
there is - I just selected it in another.

Just multi-selecting would be a much better deal, but perhaps the dialog that shows
could show a list of the available images, and then allow another to be added or
something?

Not critical, just nice.

I use images for 99% for my buttons (built with Button Shop 4).  I create 2 images for each button - then I copy the png's to the output folder.

I'll use the MouseEnter, MouseLeave to change image and the MouseDown and MouseUp to shift the image to simulate a click.

procedure TfrmTime.imgCloseBtnMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: Integer; ShiftKey, CtrlKey, AltKey: Boolean; X,Y: Integer);
begin
 TImage(Sender).Left := TImage(Sender).Left + 1;
 TImage(Sender).Top  := TImage(Sender).Top + 1;
end;

procedure TfrmTime.imgCloseBtnMouseUp(Sender: TObject; Button: Integer; ShiftKey, CtrlKey, AltKey: Boolean; X,Y: Integer);
begin
 TImage(Sender).Left := TImage(Sender).Left - 1;
 TImage(Sender).Top  := TImage(Sender).Top - 1;
end;

procedure TfrmTime.imgSelectSearchMouseEnter(Sender: TObject);
begin
 TImage(Sender).ImageName := 'SelectSearchButtonV1Hot.png';
end;

procedure TfrmTime.imgSelectSearchMouseLeave(Sender: TObject);
begin
 TImage(Sender).ImageName := 'SelectSearchButtonV1.png';
end;

That's similar to what I'm doing. But it is nice to have them looking right in the
initial form, and I just decided to change about 10 images to another.

Matthew,

This is now fixed.

You have to specify the full path and file name for the image when manually
typing it in.  EWB will take care of stripping off the path name after the
property is set.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

It would be nice if it could look to see if such a name (without path) is already
in use, and if so copy that path. Now I know it can be done with path though, it
may be a lot faster.
