CheckBox.Backround and CheckBox.SetBackgroundImage

[William Hunter]

What is the difference between CheckBox.Background = BitmapImage, and CheckBox.SetBackgroundImage = BitmapImage? When is it appropriate to use either of these over the other? I’m looking for a way to use two graphics, one for checked and one for unchecked. Will these two Members let me do this?

Any help greatly appreciated :sign0085:

Thank you Theera. I would still like to have an answer to my original question. Can anyone shed light on this for me? :sign0163:

The (set)Backgroundproperty takes a Drawable whereas the SetBackgroundImage method takes a Bitmap and converts it to a Drawable.

  public void setBackground(Drawable drawable) {
    ((View)getObject()).setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
  }

  public void SetBackgroundImage(Bitmap Bitmap) {
    BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable();
    bd.Initialize(Bitmap);
    ((View)getObject()).setBackgroundDrawable((Drawable)bd.getObject());
  }
