Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
public object HtmlImages { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(Nothing)>
<DXCategory("Appearance")>
Public Property HtmlImages As Object

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Object	null	An image collection (DevExpress.Utils.ImageCollection or DevExpress.Utils.SvgImageCollection).

Remarks

Enable the Html text formatting feature (see BarManager.AllowHtmlText and BarItem.AllowHtmlText) to format item captions (BarItem.Caption and BarItem.Description) with HTML-inspired tags.

When you compose an HTML string, you can use the image tag to insert an image from an image collection and project’s resources into the text.

To insert an image from an image collection, do the following:

• Create an image collection (ImageCollection or SvgImageCollection) and populate it with images.
• Assign the collection to the HtmlImages property.
• When you use the image tag, address a target image by its name (image names can be obtained from the image collection).

C#

barManager1.AllowHtmlText = true;
barManager1.HtmlImages = imageCollection1;
barButtonItem1.Caption = "Person <image=person>";

VB.NET

barManager1.AllowHtmlText = True
barManager1.HtmlImages = imageCollection1
barButtonItem1.Caption = "Person <image=person>"
