ToolboxBitmapAttribute Class
Allows you to specify an icon to represent a control in a container, such as the Microsoft Visual Studio Form Designer.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Indicates whether the specified object is a ToolboxBitmapAttribute object and is identical to this ToolboxBitmapAttribute object.(Overrides Attribute::Equals(Object^).) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |

![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute() | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | Match(Object^) | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Default | A ToolboxBitmapAttribute object that has its small image and its large image set to null. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetIDsOfNames(Guid%, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr) | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32%) | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::Invoke(UInt32, Guid%, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr) | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.(Inherited from Attribute.) |
You can apply a ToolboxBitmapAttribute to a control so that containers, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Form Designer, can retrieve an icon that represents the control. The bitmap for the icon can be in a file by itself or embedded in the assembly that contains the control. The size of the bitmap that you embed in the control's assembly (or store in a separate file) should be 16 by 16. The GetImage method of a ToolboxBitmapAttribute object can return the small 16 by 16 image or a large 32 by 32 image that it creates by scaling the small image.
If you want to use different versions of your icons with different versions of your assembly, you do not have to modify the ToolboxBitmapAttribute for each version. Instead, you can declare the assembly with a BitmapSuffixInSameAssemblyAttribute or a BitmapSuffixInSatelliteAssemblyAttribute, and specify a BitmapSuffix configuration value for each assembly version. In this case, a file name indicated by a ToolboxBitmapAttribute is interpreted with the bitmap suffix appended.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the ToolboxBitmapAttribute class to set stop.bmp as the toolbox icon for the StopSignControl. This example assumes the existence of a 16-by-16-pixel bitmap named stop.bmp at c:\.
[ToolboxBitmap("c:\\stop.bmp")] public ref class StopSignControl: public System::Windows::Forms::UserControl { private: Label^ label1; private: Button^ button1; public: StopSignControl() : UserControl() { this->label1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::Label(); this->button1 = gcnew System::Windows::Forms::Button(); this->label1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( "Microsoft Sans Serif", 12.0F, System::Drawing::FontStyle::Regular, System::Drawing::GraphicsUnit::Point, ((Byte) 0)); this->label1->ForeColor = System::Drawing::Color::Red; this->label1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(24, 56); this->label1->Name = "Label1"; this->label1->TabIndex = 0; this->label1->Text = "Stop!"; this->label1->TextAlign = System::Drawing::ContentAlignment::MiddleCenter; this->button1->Enabled = false; this->button1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(56, 88); this->button1->Name = "Button1"; this->button1->Size = System::Drawing::Size(40, 32); this->button1->TabIndex = 1; this->button1->Text = "stop"; this->Controls->Add(this->button1); this->Controls->Add(this->label1); this->Name = "StopSignControl"; this->MouseEnter += gcnew EventHandler(this, &StopSignControl::StopSignControl_MouseEnter); this->MouseLeave += gcnew EventHandler(this, &StopSignControl::StopSignControl_MouseLeave); } private: void StopSignControl_MouseEnter(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e) { label1->Text = label1->Text->ToUpper(); label1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font(label1->Font->FontFamily, 14.0F, FontStyle::Bold); button1->Enabled = true; } private: void StopSignControl_MouseLeave(Object^ sender, EventArgs^ e) { label1->Text = label1->Text->ToLower(); label1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font(label1->Font->FontFamily, 12.0F, FontStyle::Regular); button1->Enabled = false; } };
