.NET Framework Class Library
ToolboxBitmapAttribute Constructor (Type)

Initializes a new ToolboxBitmapAttribute object based on a 16 x 16 bitmap that is embedded as a resource in a specified assembly.

Namespace:  System.Drawing
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
Visual Basic
Public Sub New ( _
    t As Type _
)
C#
public ToolboxBitmapAttribute(
    Type t
)
Visual C++
public:
ToolboxBitmapAttribute(
    Type^ t
)
F#
new : 
        t:Type -> ToolboxBitmapAttribute

Parameters

t
Type: System..::.Type
A Type whose defining assembly is searched for the bitmap resource.

This constructor searches for an embedded resource in the assembly that defines the type specified by the t parameter. The constructor searches for a resource named namespace.classname.bmp, where namespace is the namespace containing the definition of the class specified by the t parameter. For example, if ControlA is in NamespaceA in AssemblyA.dll, then the constructor searches AssemblyA.dll for a resource named NamespaceA.ControlA.bmp.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the ToolboxBitmapAttribute constructor to set the icon of the button control to the toolbox icon for a UserControl named StopSignControl3.

Visual Basic

        Me.Label1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", _
            12.0F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, _

        Me.Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
        Me.Label1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(24, 56)
        Me.Label1.Name = "Label1"

        Me.Name = "StopSignControl"

    End Sub
