Parameters

ColorBitmap

Full path and filename of the bitmap on disk

MaskBitmap

Full path and filename of the alpha mask bitmap on disk

Return Value

The typical image format for the two SolidWorks bitmaps is 18 x 18 pixels x 256 colors. Using this method, you can specify a bigger bitmap, e.g., 24 x 24 pixels, to get extra detail. The pixels in MaskBitmap specify transparency through shades of grey with boundaries of black pixels = 100 opaque and white pixels = 100 transparent.

Use IPropertyManagerPageControl::Top to set the top of the control and use IPropertyManagerPageControl::Tip to set the ToolTip.

You can use this method before, during, or after the PropertyManager page is displayed or closed. If you use this method when the PropertyManager page is displayed, use bitmaps that are the same size.
