Icons on the custom widgets in VE are not visible [message #87874]

Hello,

I have my own custom widget: panel with a button; the button has an icon
on it.

If I test my component with "Run |Java Application" I can see the icon.

If I drop my component from the palette in VE in the debug mode my icon is
not visible.

What can I do to make my icon visible ? Do I have to set some paths ?

Thank you :-)

Elena

What does the code look like that sets icon on the button? In what
method is this code called from?

Hello,

here is the code below. I hope that the formatting is ok. You can see that
my "plusMinusButton" has an icon. And the icon is in a folder "icons" in
my plugin-project.

Thanks
Elena

------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
public class ButtonPlusPanel extends JPanel
{

public ButtonPlusPanel()
{
super();
}

public ButtonPlusPanel(ActionListener controller, String actionCommand,
String[] resourceNames, String[] resourceKeys, String[] imageNames)
{

super();

ButtonPanel buttonPanel = new ButtonPanel(controller, resourceNames,
resourceKeys, imageNames, 6, 1, 1);

JButton plusMinusButton = new JButton(new
ImageIcon("icons/Close_Button.gif"));

this.add(buttonPanel);

this.add(plusMinusButton);

this.setVisible(true);

}
}

When we drop a button we use the default ctor. Since the default ctor
doesn't call any of the code in the other ctor, the other code is never
executed.
