Thanks, Vincent, that was already there in the existing code in
regdbexport.pp

Ooops, typo: txmxsdlexporter.xpm=>txmlxsdexporter.xpm

Now it shows the icon.
Sorry for wasting your time.


Next question: this button/component will only work from FPC 2.6.x
onwards (due to dependency on fpxmlxsdexport.pp).
What is the best way to get this into Lazarus?
Conditional compilation with FPCVER or upload it as a patch in Mantis
with a note and a certain Lazarus target version?

Thanks,
Reinier
