isCOBOL Evolve : User Interface : Working With UI and Controls : Default icons
Default icons
The isCOBOL Framework includes a series of default icons that are used in various places of the GUI.
These icons are PNG and GIF files stored in the iscobol.jar library.
Most of these icons are stored in the com/iscobol/gui/client/swing package:

It’s possible to customize one or more of these icons by adding a library (or a folder) with the same package name before iscobol.jar in the CLASSPATH.
Here’s an example.
Suppose that you wish to customize the funnel icon shown on the Grid’s heading when either the FILTERABLE-COLUMN style or the FILTER-TYPES property is set. You can do the following:
1. Change to a temporary folder where you will build the custom package, e.g.
cd %TEMP%
2. Create the folder structure:
mkdir com\iscobol\gui\client\swing
3. Place a file named funnel.png in the swing subfolder, e.g.:
copy C:\path\to\yourfunnel.png %TEMP%\com\iscobol\gui\client\swing\funnel.png
4. Include the folder structure in a jar, e.g.:
cd %TEMP%
jar -cvf myicons.jar com
5. Copy myicons.jar to the “jars” folder of your isCOBOL SDK:
copy %TEMP%\myicons.jar %ISCOBOL%\jars
From now on, when you run a COBOL program using the isCOBOL SDK, you will see your custom funnel on grid headings.
Note - the above sample commands are applicable to the Windows operating system and assume that the JDK bin directory is in the Path. On Unix/Linux platforms the same commands are slightly different.
