The BCGControlBar Library has different abilities to show toolbar icons—they are faded until the mouse comes over them, highlighted when mouseovered, and have a grey look without any highlighting when disabled.
The user is enabled to change the appearance of toolbar images and even create his own using a simple image editing dialog, which is the internal part of the BCGControlBar Library.
The BCGControlBar Library offers alpha blending support for toolbar images, allowing the creation of high-quality images that are adapted to the system colors.
The ToolBar Images class simplifies processing of toolbar images loaded from resource files or from disk files.
The toolbar bitmap is a large bitmap containing a set of small images (toolbar images) of a fixed size.
The ToolBar Images class:
- Supports access to toolbar images by index and by associated command ID.
- Renders images by index ID.
- Adjusts the image's color palette to the system palette.
- Allows maintaining user-defined images created during toolbar customization.
- Works with the following image types: .bmp, .png, and .svg
