shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Is it possible to make buttons with icons from simple .ico files? I've tried it, and it does not work? The example in "Help" uses shell32.dll and it works, but why it does not work with .ico, or .icl files? I've tried with a single image .ico files, multi image .ico files, .icl and I even tried making a .dll file with GConvert5 soft, it didn't work either. wth? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) Example() Func Example() Local $msg GUICreate("My GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered GUICtrlCreateButton("my picture button", 10, 20, 40, 40, $BS_ICON) ; GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 22) ; <- WORKS ; GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & '\feed.ico') ; <- DOES NOT WORK !?!?! ; GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & '\feed.ico', 1) ; <- DOES NOT WORK !?!?! GUISetState() ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example Does GUICtrlSetImage supports only shell32.dll?

Yashied Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Works fine for me. Maybe a problem with the icon?

Makaule Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) It may sound strange, but where you got your *.ico file? I hope you didnt rename simple image to icon, for example from Test.bmp to Test.ico. I have tested and all works fine, just you should declare image width and height, in case it would be bigger then buttom, it could be resized.

shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Works fine for me. Maybe a problem with the icon?Huh... What can be wrong with the icon? Like I said, I've tried numerous (probably > 50) icons in various formats. The only thing that works is shell32.dll. I'm baffled.Could you, please, provide me with a working sample, icon?

I hope you didnt rename simple image to icon, for example from *.bmp to *.ico.Off course not Some are extracted from exe, etc, some are from the internet. "Proper" .ico files, if I could say so.e.g. this icon: link I tried this one as it comes, with 5 sizes inside, and even edited the icon with IcoFX, deleted 4 sizes, left only 48x48 - didn't work either way.

Makaule Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just for test, could you try download any *.ico from http://www.iconarchive.com/ ? I would also check is your *.au3 file in corect place (same folder with *.ico). Which version of AutoIt are you using? Maybe its some kind of "glitch" of older version?

enaiman Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Works for me too. Here is an icon if that's what you want: Save.ico SNMP_UDF ... for SNMPv1 and v2c so far, GetBulk and a new example script wannabe "Unbeatable" Tic-Tac-Toe Paper-Scissor-Rock ... try to beat it anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually out of ideas what else to try, by this time.Runing autoit 3.3.6.0 ( not beta)Windows 7 Ultimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico") Works? WORKS! whatthehell? How that "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico" is different from any other .ico files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Works for me too. Here is an icon if that's what you want: Save.ico And this icon does not work. /me bangs his head onto the wall... Honestly, I'm going crazy here. How come, one single icon ("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico") works, and ANYTHING else doesn't? This is a really bad joke Edited April 27, 2010 by shEiD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaule Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well i will atach Test.au3 with *.ico, test it. It would use 2 ways of adding ico to buttom. Test it.TestButton.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well i will atach Test.au3 with *.ico, test it. It would use 2 ways of adding ico to buttom. Test it.First of all, Thank You.I am going slightly crazy... I tried your example and it worked. Further more, my scripts started showing icons on buttons too. I have no f***in idea whats happening...(apologies). I was trying to do this for 2 hours probably before posting here. Then what, an hour till your post with an example. I just went through all my peaces of code, where I did tests, and, as it seems, the paths to the files are/were correct, (well, that's the only logical explanation, why would it not work before, and it does now...), so - I am out of ideas and words, what just happened.I will go thoroughly through all the code peaces again, after some 2-3 cigarettes, just to make sure, I'm not going mental... Anyway, thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I used to have the odd script fail for no apparent reason and after a system restart they would be fine. I just put it down to the Windows File Cache and ignored it after that. George Question about decompiling code?

shEiD Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I used to have the odd script fail for no apparent reason and after a system restart they would be fine. I just put it down to the Windows File Cache and ignored it after that. I just reinstalled my windows, twice, actually. But, take a a look at this: GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir & "\feed-icon-orange.ico", -3, 100, 0, 48, 48) I repeatedly ran same script from scite 20 times in a row: 13 times from 20, icon was displayed properly (with transparency), 7 times from 20, it was without transparency. A simple copy of the same script and icon: 20 times from 20 it displays icon incorrectly - without transparency. Now this, sucks... I would go crazy for hours and hours, scouring help file and forums, how to enable transparency. Does this kind of stuff can be Windows File Cache fault as well? Edit. Well, I tried to change up the styles, and it seems the culprit was $WS_VISIBLE in gui styles. But anyway, how come, sometimes it was displaying icons properly and sometimes - no?
