Implementation

Place u_cst_powertiles on any window or user object. Resize the control to fix the container you put it in. The tiles will change it's layout dynamically. It's important to pick a good combination of large and small tiles. PowerTiles will attempt to remain as "square" as possible. This means that the number of columns displayed may shrink.

Note: For best results, use 48x48 png icons with a transparent background. For versions of PowerBuilder that don't support PNG's (PB 9 and 10), use a png icon with a background that matches the color of the tile you're using.

Open Event or Post Constructor Event (avoid loading items in the controls Constructor event):
