demo or a tutorial for it?

Hi Terje,

The best way to add menu items or additional menus is to use the method we
use when creating the default Report Explorer dialog. Take a look at the
TppReportExplorerForm.Initialize, and LoadMainMenu routines for how this is
done.

Hi!

First i have to say this. Your newest release is a great piece of software
with some excellent improvement from your previous releases. Keep up the
good work, which i'm sure you will.

I used your '04. End-User with Custom Explorer" and added the code below to
LoadMainMenu.

FBoman := FMenuBar.AddSubMenu;
FBoman.FontSettings.Color := clBlack;
FBoman.Caption := 'Boman';
FProvider := TppTBXCustomItem.Create(Self);
FProvider.Caption := 'Provider';
FProvider.Tag := 1;
FProvider.OnClick := bomanMenuClick;
FBoman.Add(FProvider);

That works very well. I would like to add my own images to the custom
menues. Is this possible?
If so, could you please give me a clue on how to solve this?

Best regards,
Terje

Hi Terje,

You can use the global ToolImageList object to add images to each TBXItem.
The ToolImageList is simply a descendent of a TImageList. You can either
add images to the list before assigning the index or in line. Something
like the following...

uses
ppToolResources;

FBoman.ImageIndex := ToolImageList.Add({image});
