You can place bitmaps on push buttons, window backgrounds, and dialog box backgrounds. You can also use bitmaps as literals or icons. An icon is a small picture used to represent a minimized window on the desktop.
You can import bitmaps from any source that creates .bmp files.
Use bitmaps that can be easily recognized by the user. The image used should instantly convey its meaning and should not be more complex than the space allows. For example, avoid complex images on icons.
The state of a push button can be normal, disabled, activated, or selected. CA Gen enables the state of a push button bitmap to be displayed below the bitmap when the cursor is positioned over it for more than a few seconds. This is referred to as micro help.
Note: Bitmaps can be time-consuming to develop. When possible, either purchase bitmaps or have a graphic artist develop them.
Bitmaps can be dynamically changed during runtime through action diagramming statements.
