Icons on Tabs

To set an icon on a given tab within a tabset, you must import the Aveva.Core.Presentation assembly using the following PML.NET command:

import 'Aveva.Core.Presentation'

handle any

endhandle

Having done this, you can create an object of type PMLNETDRUID using the following PML.NET syntax:

using namespace 'Aveva.Core.Presentation'

!druid = object PMLNETDRUID()

You can then can use the druid object to access the method setAttribute() passing the attribute UI_PICTURE_FILE and the resource ID to the given frame.

!druid.setAttribute('testTabIcon.testFrame1', 'UI_PICTURE_FILE', 'ID_3D-REPRESENTATION')

For example, in the following form, !!testTabIcon, you have a tabset with a frame !!testTabIcon.testFrame1 with an icon ID 'ID_3D-REPRESENTATION'.

Note:
Icons can be referenced in the same way as adding a pixmap to a button, for example, resourcename>id.

setup form !!testTabIcon resize

frame .flist TABSET at x 0 ymax+0.2 anchor T+B+L width 30 height 5

frame .testFrame1 'TAB1'

button .testButton1 anchor top+left |Test Button1| pixmap "AvevaSharedIcons>ID_REMOVE_ENTRY>16" width 16 height 16

para .testLabel anchor t+l+r text 'Test Label ' width 38

using namespace 'Aveva.Core.Presentation'

!druid = object PMLNETDRUID()

!druid.SetAttribute('!!TestTabIcon.testFrame1','UI_PICTURE_FILE','ID_3D-REPRESENTATION')
