SVG icons in buttons

[hakan at exformedia.se]

For me it usually works with “import as control” or “import as referenced...”, but for some “mysterious” reason it never works by setting the filename of the control. I haven’t looked into the IDE code, but I guess it takes care of the calling to drawingSVGcompile() or something....
