ActiveReports 9
Icon Set
Show AllShow All
Hide AllHide All

The Icon Set data visualization allows you to use arguments to select an image from an image strip and display it either as a TextBox BackgroundImage, or as an Image Value. You can use the standard image strips included with ActiveReports, or create custom image strips.

Standard Image Strips

To use these image strips, place code like the following in the BackgroundImage property of a TextBox report control, or in the Value property of an Image report control.

Note: When using icon sets, you must set the Source property to Database.

Parameters

You can use static values or any expression that evaluates to a Boolean value. For icon sets with fewer than five icons, set the unused values to False.

Syntax

=IconSet("Flags", False, True, False, False, False)

Usage

Following the Icon Set argument, there are five Boolean arguments. The first argument to evaluate to True displays the corresponding image. Use data expressions that evaluate to a Boolean value to replace the literal values in the code above.

Example

In several of the included image strips, the last spots are empty. When using the Checkbox, 3TrafficLights, Flags, RedToBlack, Signs, Symbols1, Symbols2, or TrafficLights image strip, it generally makes sense to set the Boolean values for all of the unused icon spaces to False.

Custom Image Strips

The Blank image strip is included so that you can customize it. Drop down the section below for details.
