Icon for pattern (the next step)
« on: November 12, 2015, 06:24:20 pm »
So I got on my feet again with menus but stumbled again over the next weed as I wanted to set an icon for my pattern. As a default a pattern in the toolbox appears with the stereotype guillemets. The help now tells this
Quote
set the icon for a Toolbox item:
1. Locate the item in the Toolbox Items list and click within the Toolbox Icon column.
2. Click on the ellipsis (…) within this column. The Select a Toolbox Icon dialog displays.  
But again: where is the "Toolbox Icon column"? I looked in the Stereotype class that extends ToolboxPage. but this of course has just a plain attribute list which does not have any  "Toolbox Icon column".

q.

P.S. I got around this by using the ToolboxItemImage. Alas, I'd like to know what the help tried to tell me.

The help is explaining how to use it with the MDG helper technology I think.

If you right click on your stereotype and choose "Open with Profile Helper" you'll see the icon option.

Ah, thanks. Yes, they refer to it. Why mention it :-X

Actually this finally does what I then did manually.
