How do I toggle between two images on a Button?
I have a "Lock" and "Unlock" image I would like to use on the same button.
So far I have used the property window to set a single image..
UPDATE: Many good answers, but I should have mention that my two images is in the Property folder. How do I access them with a relative path?
You can change a image of Windows Form Button using 2 Methods
Method 1 for Relative Path
button1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\jk\Desktop\icons\image.png");
button1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\\Users\\jk\\Desktop\\icons\\image.png");
Method 2 For Resources Image
this.button1.Image = NameSpace1.Properties.Resources.Image2.png;
you can also visit MSDN Library: ButtonBase.Image Property
Easy:
button1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\forestfloor.jpg");
P.S. Before set image, check if it exist
You will most likely have to change the Button.Image property in the code-behind. See the MSDN Documentation for information and a sample on how to do this.
Button.Image and I used Properties.Resources.lock_open to get to my file. It works perfectly. I only wrote about the toggle function to say that it was a new situation were two images were needed. Sorry for any confusion.You would have to code.
if(locked)
Button.Image = Images.Lock;
else
Button.Image = Images.Unlock;
where Images is, say, a Resource you have created through the designer.
