# TCoolBand.Bitmap

Bitmap image displayed for the band.

## Declaration

Source position: comctrls.pp line 2512

`published property TCoolBand.Bitmap : TBitmap read FBitmap write SetBitmap stored IsBitmapStored;`

## Description

Bitmap is a TBitmap property with the graphic displayed on the band. Its value is stored in component resource stream when the ParentBitmap property is not enabled for the band. Changing the value for the property causes the Changed method to be called to update the item in the band collection for the TCoolBar instance. ParentBitmap is set to False when a value is assigned to the property - even if it is Nil.

The value in Bitmap is used in the Paint method in TCustomCoolBar. It contains the image that is drawn as the tiled background for the band. If Bitmap has not been assigned, the Bitmap for the TCoolBar instance is used when ParentBitmap is enabled. If neither bitmap has been assigned, the band is filled with the Color assigned to the band.
