Editing the button resources

The TOnOffButton component retrieves the required button image (depending on the property ButtonStyle) from the resource file SDL_onoffbut.res. If you want to adapt the buttons you can easily edit this resource file by an external resource file editor (see Hint below).

The resource file currently contains the following bitmaps:


ARROWLR
ARROWTR
ARROWUD
BEVELEDLED

BULB
BUTLAMP
CHECKBOX
COLSLIDELR

COLSLIDETB
HDLEFT
HDRIGHT
LEDREDGREEN

RADIOBUT
SLIDELFTRGT
SLIDETOPBOT
SMILEYRG

SMILEYS
TRAFFICLGT
USER1
USER2

USER3
USER4
USER5		  

Five of the images in the resource file (USER1..USER5) are reserved for user-specific buttons. You have to edit the resource file to override the default glyphs.

Hint 1: Do not use the Delphi image editor for editing the resource file since this editor does not support 24-bit colors. Instead of the image editor, you may use, for example, the program Resource Hacker of Angus Johnson, or the program XN Resource Editor of Colin Wilson.
