Custom component bean icon

[peterblazejewicz]

hi all,

I'm writing many small custom composites/widgets for various purposes and I'm wondering if there is a way to embed .gif/.png icon resource that could be taken by GWT property editor/palette window somehow. I could assing icon during project authoring but wonder if I could persists it somehow accross projects, etc,

thanks,
regards,
Peter

The latest v2.0.1 build will look for a .gif or .png file with the same name as the class in the same package occupied by the class.

hi Eric,
thanks for looking into that,
I just guess widgets/composites should be jar-red and added to other project classpath. Unfortunately I cannot make it work using just .gif/.png 16x16 or 18x18 icons,
Small step-by-step how-to maybe?

I'm using 2.0.1[20070911f161737] on Eclipse 3.3,

You need to use the latest 2.0.1 build (from earlier today). Support for those images was just added based on your request.

Hello,
I've found small issue with current implementation and I'm wonder what it could be.

Whenever event is assigned to widget then in Property Editor widgets tree small "e" circle icon is displayed over widget with assigned listener.
However when my custom icons are used (24-bit, 16x16 pngs) for widget instead of that icon only white circle seems to be appearing over widget icon (something like white circle being painted over icon),

regards,
Peter

Can you send us a screen shot a test case?

[peterblazejewicz]

Hello Eric,

yes, no problem,

here is screenshot of design view area and Property Editor area (design test case study project):



I've put red rectangle on property editor tree view. Notice that button with event assigned (default designer icon) shows "has event" icon while selected icon with custom icon has "white hole" painted over it,

regards,
Peter

We tried it with a custom image, and it worked fine on our end.

Try it again using the latest build to see if that makes any difference.

If not, we will need you to send us the image you are using.
