Setting a Bean's Icon
See Also
When adding a bean to the Palette window or an application, you
can specify one or more icons to represent the bean.
To specify a bean's icon:
- In the Projects window, expand the class node that contains your bean.
- Right-click
the Bean Patterns subnode and choose BeanInfo Editor from the pop-up
menu.
- In the BeanInfo Editor, select the BeanInfo node. Properties are displayed
in the right panel for all four icon types.
- Click the ellipsis (...) button for the icon property that describes your
icon type.
- In the Icon property editor, specify the class path for your icon and
click OK. The IDE displays a preview of the image in the rectangular region
at the bottom of the Icon property editor.
- Once you have set the class path for each icon type you want to add,
click OK to close the BeanInfo Editor.
The BeanInfo class for your bean is regenerated, and code is
created to set and get the bean's icon.
