TLMDDockPanel Images not appearing for tabbed documents

David Hoyle

Hi,

I've recently implemented the LMD Docking controls into an existing application and replaced a home brew docking system and everything works well.

However I'm having issues with assigning images to the panels. I can assign images to appear in the headers of a dkTool TLMDDockPanel however when I do the same for a tabbed document panel (dkDocument) no icon appears.

Is this by design or a bug.

Note: To ensure it was not my coding I added an ImageList (and LMDImageList) to the docking demo with 1 image and at design time I could assign this to tool panels and it would appear but does not appear for a document panel.

I'm using RAD Studio 10.3.2 and LMD 2019.9.

regards

Dave.

If you speak about floating document panels, then you can set panel's ShowHeaderImage property to hiShow value.

If you speak about images on tabs, then you have to create custom style (based on one of built-in styles) and set ShowTabImage property to True in DocsZone element  of style's XML.

Moreinfor about custom styles can be found here:

Eugene,

Thank you.

I copied the VCL Style and tweaked the ShowTabImage property as you described then loaded the custom style when the application loaded and my icons now appear. All I need to do now is embed the style in a resource.
