How to pre-load module's images?

[ FlexSim 17.2.4 ]

I'm developing a module where I've created also some dashboard and process flow with some module's image (saved in the a module's sub-folder).

How can I make those images to be shown also on the Main Panel?

The screenshot explains my problem: I see the images on the Toolbox view but not on the Main Panel.

I tried to understand it from other modules but without success.

Please post the image files you are trying to use so we can duplicate the issue and determine what you can do to fix it.

I'm trying to understand the method to show this images in the main panel.

In example, I have the pie1.png in the "modules\ExampleModule\bitmaps" folder. I see the image in the Toolbox but I can't see it on the Main Panel of the Process Flows list.

Thanks.

It looks like the toolbar control only works with bmp or ico files. Save your image as a bmp or an ico format in addition to png.

For example, ProcessFlow has flowchart.bmp, flowchart.ico, and flowchart.png that are all used in different places in the UI depending on what type of image the control can render.
