The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.
Add the icon file to the project
In the The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. (e.g. tutorialMiniCrm.shared.tutorialMiniCrm) add the icon file to the resources/icons folder.
Scout supports many different picture formats. You can use a PNG file that has a size of 16*16 pixels.
Link your file to your application
Open the Icons class in the shared (e.g. tutorialMiniCrm.shared.tutorialMiniCrm.Icons) and add a new line like this:
public static final String UserHome ="home_red";
- Name of the constant is the name that you will use in your application. (e.g. UserHome)
- Value is the name of your file without the extension. (e.g. home_red.png)
Use your icon
When you need to provide an Icon you can now use the Icons class. For example:
@Override protected String getConfiguredIconId(){ return Icons.UserHome; }
With the appropriate import:
import tutorialMiniCrm.shared.tutorialMiniCrm.Icons;
Of course the new icon is listed in the icon editor in the Scout SDK (The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.: Project > Shared > Icons, The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.: Open icons editor).
It is also available in the icon chooser field in order to configure quickly your GUI.
