Bitmap resource
A Bitmap resource represents a bitmap image for use in the installer's user interface, typically as a background in a dialog box or instead of a caption in some controls. To display a bitmap image, you must place the appropriate control in the dialog box, then link the control to the desired Bitmap resource.
Note: Bitmap resources are stored as external files; the InstallMate project file only contains the external file path for each Bitmap resource, not the Bitmap resource itself. You cannot edit Bitmap resources in InstallMate; you must use a separate image editor instead.
InstallMate controls that accept a Bitmap resource are: Bitmap, CheckBox, PushButton, RadioButton
