A bitmap to display instead of a checkmark when a menu item is checked.

Property of

Menu

Description

Use checkedBitmap to display a bitmap instead of a checkmark when a menu item’s checked property is true.

The checkedBitmap setting can take one of two forms:

RESOURCE <resource id> <dll name>
specifies a bitmap resource and the DLL file that holds it.

FILENAME <filename>
specifies a bitmap file. See class Image for a list of bitmap formats supported by dBASE Plus.

Note

The display area in the menu item is very small (13 pixels square with Small fonts). If the bitmap is too large, the top left corner is displayed. Also, the color of the bitmap when the menu item is highlighted changes, depending on the system menu highlight color. Therefore, you may want to limit yourself to simple monochrome bitmaps.
