Use

Image Location

The image specified can be a local file or one stored on an http or ftp server.

Specifying a local file

If you are specifying a local file, the image path should be relative to the Newlook solution path, C:\ProgramData\Newlook 11.1.

For example if your image, Banner.png, was located in the folder C:\ProgramData\Newlook 11.1\@MySolution\Images, then you would specify the path @MySolution\Images\Banner.png.

If your image file is located outside the Newlook solution folder then the full path must be specified.

IMPORTANT:

For Smartclient deployments, it is important to note that any image file must reside in the same location on any user machine that you deploy your solution to. For this reason it is highly recommended that any images referenced in your solution are stored within your Solution folder.

Specifying a file on a http or ftp server

To use a file on an http or ftp server, you will need to specify the full URL for the file, for example:

http://www.looksoftware.com/Images/ManWithHat.svg

This property may be specified as an expression in Designer, by preceding the expression with an equals (=) sign. The expression will be evaluated when the Form is initialized, and the property will be set to the result of the evaluation.
