Detail
These Properties determine the external image mapping for a specific Control Component. Separate images can be provided for the following mouse-related event types:
| · | Control Up: when the mouse pointer is not hovering over the control and when it has not been clicked on.
|
| · | Control Over: when the mouse pointer is hovering over the control.
|
| · | Control Down: when the control has been clicked on.

ImageUp
This Property is also an acronym for the generic Image Property. In cases where separate images are to be provided for each event type this Property can be used in order to maintain a consistent naming convention and so make custom configuration files more legible. This Property is used to define an external image resource that is mapped to a control Component in a Control Up state -ie: when the mouse pointer is not hovering over the control and when it has not been clicked on. Note also that this is the default adopted in cases where ImageDown and ImageOver Properties have not been defined for a specific Control Component.
ImageDown
Use this Property to define an external image resource to be mapped to a Control Component in a Control Down state -ie: the control has been clicked on. Note that If this Property is not defined, then the value of the Image/ImageUp Property is used as a default for the Control Down state.
ImageOver
Use this Property to define an external image resource to be mapped to a Control Component in a Control Over state -ie: the mouse pointer is hovering over the control. Note that If this Property is not defined, then the value of the Image/ImageUp Property is used as a default for the Control Over state.
Scope
The Properties listed in this section are defined as attributes of the XML tag corresponding to the following Components:
The Designer Logo Control
The Radios Control
The Vote Control
The Page Controls
The Scroll Controls
The View Controls
The Column Controls
The Filter Controls
Generic Controls
Generic Column Controls
Generic Filter Controls
Notes
The designer can use the more general Component Image Properties to define a Default Image implementation for Control Components. In addition to providing the image for the Control Up mouse-related event, this Default Image implementation also provides in-built 'vanilla' images for the Control Down and Control Over events based on the associated default image Property settings.
