I added the "Edit/Toggle_line_wrap" action to the toolbar in the sdk applet
The icon is missing.
How can I add that?
thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
We just don't provide an icon for this specific action (because we never intended it to be added to a toolbar).
But you can create (or copy from some place) your own icon for it and set it to the action before creating a toolbar button from it:
Code: Select all
((javax.swing.AbstractAction)action).putValue(Action.SMALL_ICON, yourCustomIcon);
Or create your own Swing action with your own properties which delegates to our action when
actionPerformed is called on it.
Regards,
Radu

Can someone please point we less sophisticated users to the information needed to "create (or copy from some place) your own icon for it and set it to the action"?

Hi Riley,
Let's say that in your Java project you create in your "src" folder an "images" subfolder containing all custom images like for example an image called "OpenCustom.png".
The JAR library which will be created from your Java sources will contain inside this "images" subfolder with the images.
In your Java code you can create an ImageIcon from your image:
Code: Select all
private ImageIcon createOpenIcon() {
ImageIcon icon = null;
InputStream is = AuthorComponentSample.class
.getResourceAsStream("/images/OpenCustom.png");
try {
icon = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(is));
} catch (IOException e) {
}
return icon;
}
Once you have the ImageIcon you can use it on an action like:
Code: Select all
AbstractAction openAction = new AbstractAction("Open",
createOpenIcon()) {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// Open the file
openFile();
}
};
actionsToolbar.add(new ToolbarButton(openAction, false));
