TObject

Description

TButtonGlyph is a TObject descendant used to represent the image with the symbol or pictograph displayed on a button, or in a column in a grid. Use the properties and methods in the class to specify the image displayed in the glyph, and the display settings required for the image.

Images and ExternalImages are image lists with the content that can be displayed in the glyph. Glyph contains the bitmap, scaled to the necessary display density, used in the class instance. Width and Height represent the dimensions for the Glyph.

ShowMode determines when the image is displayed, just like its usage in TMenu and TMenuItem.

TransparentMode indicates whether the glyph image is drawn with transparency, as works in conjunction with the Transparent property in the parent control.

TButtonGlyph implements the IImageCacheListener interface used to provide support for cached images in TImageList. TButtonGlyph also implements the IUnknown interface to support the QueryInterface method and reference counting.

TButtonGlyph is the type used to implement the ButtonGlyph property in TCustomBitBtn and TCustomSpeedButton.

TCustomSpeedButton.ButtonGlyph

  

Gets the TButtonGlyph used for the control.

TMenu

  

TMenu - a menu appearing in a form. Base class for TMainMenu or TPopupMenu.

TMenuItem

  

Represents a menu item displayed in a menu.
