As we approach the release of DXperience v2013 vol 1, I thought I’d “leak” some of what’s coming. One of the things that I often need when developing an Office Style application is good collection of Glyphs for my buttons. In v2013 vol 1, we will provide these images. Not only that, but we also implemented a new design-time Image Picker to make it easier for you to choose the appropriate image. This new design-time Image Picker is accessible by clicking on the image property:
Alternatively, it can be invoked from a smart-tag:
The Image Picker will retain all the existing functionality of the standard image picker that you might already be used to in Visual Studio
and will add the Image Gallery onto a secondary tab.
All the standard images, as you can see, are provided both in 16x16 and 32x32 sizes, as well as their Gray Scale variants:
The pickers will work for both, the standard Glyphs as well as ImageLists.
Cheers,
Azret
