Image for Combobox from Resource

Post by AUGE_OHR »

hi,

i try to use Resource file instead of "file-from-Disk"

it work when i use this Syntax

Code: Select all

   AADD( acImage, "RES\IcoDriveUnknown16.ico" )
   AADD( acImage, "RES\IcoDrive16.ico" )
my *.RC look like this
A1MAIN ICON RES\NCC.ico
ICOUNKNOWN ICON RES\IcoDriveUnknown16.ICO
ICOFIXDRIVE ICON RES\IcoDrive16.ICO
so i try this

Code: Select all

   AADD( acImage, "ICOUNKNOWN"   )
   AADD( acImage, "ICOFIXDRIVE"  )
or this

Code: Select all

   AADD( acImage, LOADRESOURCE(GetInstance(),ICOUNKNOWN  ) )
   AADD( acImage, LOADRESOURCE(GetInstance(),ICOFIXDRIVE ) )
but both give "none" Result :(

who can tell me how to use Resource for Combobox :idea:
have fun
Jimmy

Something must be wrong in your code.
I'm using icons from resource by name and it works.

Hi,

i had the same problem in hmgextended.

Look here for more deails with tests we have done :

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... QV0dZYgL7I

It seemes to be a problem with the Borland 5.8 linker.
When you link with Winmg all is ok. See pictures.

The problem is still there. No time to investigate so i use bmp now.

Bye
Hans
