BarItem.ImageIndex Property

Use the BarItemImageOptions.ImageIndex property to assign an image index to an item.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[Browsable(false)]
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public virtual int ImageIndex { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Int32

The index of an image in the collection of small images.

#Remarks

The ImageIndex property specifies image index in a collection of small images. If you are using standard bars from the DevExpress Ribbon, Menu and Docking Library, the BarManager.Images property specifies the source of small images. In a Ribbon Control, the RibbonControl.Images property specifies the source of small images.

You can also use the BarItem.ImageOptions.Image property to assign a small image to the bar item.

If both ImageIndex and BarItem.ImageOptions.Image properties are set, the image assigned to the BarItem.ImageOptions.Image property will be used.

In standard bars, you can use the BarItemLink.ImageIndex property to assign a custom image to each bar item link.

Tip

You can also assign an image by its name in the collection.

// The image collection is created and populated with images at design time.
barItem.ImageOptions.Image = imageCollection1["technology_32x32"]; 
// Assign an SVG image in the SvgCollection
// barItem.ImageOptions.SvgImage = svgCollection1["technology_32x32"];
