Specifies the image (if any), which can be associated with the text panel.

Declaration

property ImageIndex: TcxImageIndex read; write; default -1;

Property Value

Type
TcxImageIndex

Remarks

Use the ImageIndex property if you wish to associate an image list with a status bar text panel. This is useful if you need custom bitmaps on your status bar. For example, you may wish to display icons that represent the connection state or a warning about an abnormal occurrence. You can do that in the following way:

• Drop a TImageList or TcxImageList collection to your form and add images to it.

• Assign this collection to the status bar’s Images property.

• Add a new panel to the status bar.

• Assign ‘Text Panel‘ to the panel’s PanelStyle property.

• Assign the relevant index to the ImageIndex property of your panel.

As a result, the image is shown in the leftmost section of the status bar below:

The default value of the ImageIndex property is -1, thus no image is displayed.
