I miss the programmatic property name from the spec, the announcement,
and the IDL files. At least the latter should document it, so the next
version of the online IDL reference will contain it.

Also, please note that all other control models which support an image
URL (as "ImageURL") for quite a while now also support a property
"Graphic", which allows to use graphics obtained from elsewhere (see
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=interface-announce&msgNo=978).
You might want to add this property to the dialogs/tab pages, too, for
reasons of consistency.

Ciao
Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the hint with the IDL file. Fixed now on the CWS and
specification.

I already added the "Graphic" property to the UnoControlDialogModel as
it was done for the other controls with image support.

Regards,
Carsten
