To make the images available when using the Ribbon component on user forms, execute the following operations:

• Create the Resources  object in the repository and specify it as a value of this property.

• Create in the resource an image, which identifier matches with the <Name> element of the <Image*> tag from the XML string of the ribbon.

When the XML string of the ribbon is loaded, the search is executed and found images are displayed for the corresponding controls.

Example

The property use is given in the example for the LoadFromXML method.
