An Image Button is similar to a Button. In fact, it's an Image with the "Button Effect" property set to "Second Image". Unlike Buttons, Images can display image files. You can change the displayed image in runtime. You can also link an Image to the Database. An Image can interact with the user through its Events. You should use an Image Control to create a stylish button or to display image files.
Value - Its value is the full path of the displayed image.
- It's possible to perform drag-n-drop of an image file ("BMP", "GIF", "PCX", "JPG", "PNG") into an Image Button Control to define it. image.
- It's also possible to drag-n-drop two images onto an Image Button. The Control will have the Effect = Second Image automatically with the two images assigned by their selected order.
