3226.0. "Child Entity Icons ?" by SAC::BRYAN_F () Mon Jun 22 1992 13:09

	Can you tell me how you get customised icons for child entities
 	on the map ? If there a specific icon filename that will display 
	the icon in the toolbox ? Or if not, is it possible to modify the
        mapfile to change the object type and add an icon filename ? 


	Thanks - Francis.

3226.1	where on the maP?	TOOK::CALLANDER	MCC = My Constant Companion	`Mon Jun 22 1992 16:32`	3
	Do you want a new icon when putting a child on the parent level map, or do you want these icons when zooming into a global entity?
3226.2	Parent Level	SAC::BRYAN_F		`Mon Jun 22 1992 16:59`	5
	I wish to add a child onto the parent level map. For example use an SNMP child entity from a LAN POD private MIB, representing Ethernet utilization, and put this into a higher level domain. Thanks - Francis.
3226.3	MB2 -> LOOKUP...	CTHQ1::WOODCOCK		`Mon Jun 22 1992 17:52`	10
	Hi Francis, This one got me for awhile too. Once you click APPLY and IMPM tells you to move pointer to map and click, try this. Move mouse to map and hit MB2 -> LOOK UP. This brings you back up to the parent level, then put in your LINE or ICON. Is this what you wanted??? best regards, brad...
3226.4	Clarification	SAC::BRYAN_F		`Tue Jun 23 1992 12:11`	8
	Brad, I can get the child entity represented on any map I like OK. However I have only got the choice of the standard toolbox options (line, circle, rectangle) to represent the object. I want to select my own customised icon. I hope this makes it clear. Francis.
3226.5	not much help here	CTHQ1::WOODCOCK		`Tue Jun 23 1992 13:01`	10
	Francis, Now I see what you are looking to do. I just poked around myself and there doesn't seem to be a way of using your own icons at the sub-entity level. Your answer is best left to those more in the 'know' than myself as to whether there is a method today or for the future. best regards, brad...

	> Not available in V1.2. > On wish list for V1.3. > Verna Is it now possible to use self made icons for child entities in a domain map ? A partner company would like to use this feature for their own AM, which will be developped in the next months. Edgar
