Description

For an ActiveXControl, the ToolboxBitmap property is a character vector or ref that specifies the name of, or ref to, a Bitmap object that may be used by a host application to represent the ActiveXControl when its complete visual appearance is not required. For example, if you add an ActiveX control to the Microsoft Visual Basic development environment, its bitmap is added to the toolbox. The Bitmap should therefore be of an appropriate size, usually 24 x 24 pixels.

For an OCXClass, The ToolboxBitmap is a read-only property that reports a bitmap image associated with an OLE Control. This is intended for use by a GUI design tool. Its value is a 2-element vector. The first element is an integer matrix of pixel colours corresponding to the Bits property of a Bitmap object. The second element is a 3-column integer matrix specifying the colour map and corresponds to the CMap property of a Bitmap object.

Thus you can construct a Bitmap object directly from this property with an expression such as:

      'BM'⎕WC'Bitmap' '','GAUGE' ⎕WG'ToolboxBitmap'

where GAUGE is the name of an OCXClass.
