Name

ImageIndexConverter

Synopsis

This class is a type converter for image index values. You need a special type converter for these despite the fact that they are just integers, because it needs to be able to support a None value. Typically these are used in Control classes that need to specify the index into an image list for a part of their imagery.

You would not normally need to use this class yourself, as it is to support serialization and design-time scenarios.
