Centering the bitmap in a ToolButton?

[A]

Hello,

Is there any way to centre the image in my ToolButton? Unfortunately it automatically anchors NW (Top, left). I can't find the relevant property in the ToolBar, ToolButton or Image List properties.

Thanks in advance.

Seems that there's no property. But if you don't need exactly a TToolBar, you can use a Panel and drop any kind of button and align them as you wish.

Thanks for your reply lainz

It's hard to beleive that you cannot centre an image in a ToolButton. How are you supposed to format a ToolButton to look professional? If this were true, it would render the ToolBar/ToolButton control useless.
Does anyone anyone else have any input on another way to get a toolbar and it's child buttons looking normal?

Looks perfectly centered to me.

A Toolbutton gets its image from an image list. All images stored in the image list must share the same size, and this size must be specified in the properties Width and Height of the image list.

Hmmm... bizarre, I restarted the project, deleted the ToolBar and the ImageList and I tried again. It's formatting is fine now. It was likely a result of initially selecting 22*22 bitmaps for the buttons, and then later clearing the ImageList and reselecting 16*16 bitmaps. The ToolButtons maintained the size that was defaulted for the 22*22 bitmaps.

In other words - user error.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem.

But next time when you post screenshots or code you should not use external servers, the data will be gone after some time and users reading this post later will not see the attachments any more.

Alright, in the future I will.
