jiglei Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hello. I've been wondering if there isn't a way that I can "atach" an image file into the compiled .exe, or other way to have the image always in the program without the need of having it on your hard drive. Its just troublesome to have the need to create a specific folder just to carry that image, and to pass the program to others i'll need to zip it. So, basicaly, if someone can tell me how to, i'd like to find a way to have an image on my gui, without having to load it from the pc, but actualy creating it right away ( i don't have any idea about this). Or, if it isn't possible, or too hard to do, just tell me. I don't understand a thing about other programming languages, only the basics of auto it. Thanks in advance.

Moderators Melba23 Posted October 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2009 jiglei,A couple of possibilities to get images into a compiled .exe:1. FileInstall. This places a copy of a file in your .exe which you can load onto the user's machine and then use from within your script. Read the Help file carefully and search for the many forum threads.2. Zedna's excellent Resources UDF (which you can find here). This is more complicated to use, but allows you to use files stored in your .exe without having to copy them onto the user's machine. It requires more effort from the coder to get everything into the .exe, but does have the advantage of not having to load files onto a new machine - everything is self-contained. If you want to use this you MUST read the Resources thread carefully and try out the examples - the UDF is not difficult to use, but if you do not take the trouble to learn how to use it properly, you will have problems.I would recommend trying FileInstall first - if you can get what you want that way it is far simpler.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiglei Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 I feel ashamed that I couldn't have found that FileInstall() in first place... Thanks for your help, file install will work perfectly in this case, since I can also had an "OnAutoItExit" function to delete the file when exiting the program, or just keep it, depending on the use of the program. In case I'll ever need it, i'll register the UDF you've suggested me, cause it sounds very useful. Thanks once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
