Placing images in tab controls

[KiwiAdrift]

I am trying to control an application from an image. Let me explain - the client wants an image of the equipment we are controlling (which luckily is a simple vertical image) on the left of the screen, and when the mouse is clicked on some part, then the controls, indications, etc. relevant to that part are displayed.

I had in mind a tab control, one tab page for each part of the equipment, with the tab names on the left side. I intended to put portions of the image in place of each tab name, using the Advanced-Tab layout-Images option. However I cannot find a way to fix an image in place of the tab name.

The other method I thought of was to have boolean buttons stacked vertically, with each one selecting a page on the tab control. However the sane applies - I cannot find a way to insert an image in the button.

I know that this is purely cosmetic. However the client has a particular look and feel that he wants.....

Thanks,

Derek

To insert an image into a tab do the following:

1. Place the desired image into the clipboard. (For example, you could open a page in internet explorer and right-click on an image and select "copy".)
2. Now Right-click on the tab... "advanced...Tab Layout" and select "import Image from Clipboard". If desired, also select "Images only" if you don't want any text.
3. ---> The image you copied earlier will appear in the tab.

To add an image to a boolean button, open a suitable button in the control editor (right-click...advanced...customize...") and insert the desired image in the desired button state.

Exactly what I wanted.   Many thanks ......
