Each button in the MenuSuite corresponds to a department in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client and each button includes a Bitmap Property that you use to specify its icon. To display an icon with a department in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client, you enter a bitmap ID. The bitmap ID corresponds to an icon that is displayed with the department in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.
