Note:
◼ You must set the ImageEnVect property of the actions◼ The ActionType property advises whether the control only performs a function (ieaButton), toggles a state (ieaCheckbox), or changes between multiple states (ieaRadioButton)
◼ You can set MsgLanguage to localize the actions
◼ Some actions include shortcuts. The VCL does not allow these to be cleared at design-time. Disable them at run-time as follows: ImageEnVect1PromptToOpen1.ShortCut := 0;
◼ See the list of the default ImageIndexes if you are planning to add graphics to your actions
