Parameters

BitmapOrig

Full path and filename to bitmap or PNG image in its non-checked state (see Remarks)

BitmapMaskOrig

Full path and filename to the bitmap or PNG image mask (see Remarks)

Return Value

The rest of the bitmaps (selected, highlight regular, highlight selected, and disabled) or PNG images are automatically generated by SolidWorks. The size of the bitmap or PNG image is not restricted; you can insert a bitmap or PNG image of any size. However, standard bitmap size is 24-pixels wide and 24-pixels high with a margin of at least 3 blank pixels on all sides of the bitmap because this is where the button borders are drawn; i.e., any pixels in the image in these 3 outer rows/columns of pixels will be obscured by the button borders. The parts of the bitmap or PNG image painted white to blend in with the background color of the PropertyManager page, regardless of the color of the page.

You can specify your own bitmap or PNG image mask using the BitmapMaskOrig argument, which should display the bitmap or PNG image exactly as you created it. If you specify an empty string for BitmapMaskOrig, SolidWorks will generate what it needs; however, your bitmap or PNG image may appear blurred.

You must call this method after calling either of the following APIs to create the bitmap button control:

• IPropertyManagerPage2::AddControl or IPropertyManagerPage2::IAddControl

• IPropertyManagerPageGroup::AddControl or IPropertyManagerPageGroup::IAddControl
