HowI created some TV logo images, which I want to use as button, but the gallery only allows you to enter the bitmaps. Once the image is imported, it is in the bitmap tab and the properties for the image only display 3 tabs: label, appearance and dimantion.

How can I convert that image to a button? The guide only tells how to import images as bitmaps, but nothing about how to convert the images to the buttons.

Thanks
I made this!!!

The reason you can't find info about how to convert a panel to a button is because there is no magical/quick way to do this.

If you have placed the images in the gallery as bitmaps, you will have to open each panel that is created after dragging an image onto a page and save the png/bmp to a file on your hard disk. Once you have done this, you can reload the pngs/bmps you saved previously into buttons.

You can store either buttons or images in the gallery but be advised that if you want to use the images on the 'Images' tab of the gallery in buttons, you will have to follow the above procedure.

If you have a button that you'd like to insert into the gallery, simply open the gallery, select the 'Buttons' tab, then click 'Insert'.

The difference for a button is that it has two images - pressed and released.

Sorry, but I do not exactly understand.

Can you please clarify.

I imported the images into the Gallery images section.
I created a new devices and several pages for the device.
I place each image that I imported on to the page and saved the new configuration.

At this point I am stuck. When I click the Insert button in the Buttons tab and select the new configuration, I see the device the pages but not the images. Therefore I cannot import the image into the button.
I made this!!!
