Calling image from custom DLL [SOLVED]

[fett8802]

Hello all,

I've been beating my head against a wall for a while now about this. I can call images from shell32.dll no problem. But I can not figure out how to call images from a custom dll and apply them to a toolbar button. All of the help files for functions such as _GUIImageList_AddIcon and_GUICtrlToolbar_AddBitmap deal only with shell32.dll or the windows default icons.

I'm creating a new and hopefully more efficient version of a program that I wrote for work and I've created a custom .dll file with the icon resources to use on my toolbar. It seems the problems may be with using ordinal indexing or not.

Any ideas? I would post code, but all of the test code I've been trying are an embarrassment. I don't need you to code the entire project or anything, just ideas to get it going. Those of you that know me know that I don't post unless I'm at my wits end with my own code and have exhausted the forum's search function. Also, I'm happy to re-do the .dll file if I have done something wrong.

I've attached the custom dll.

Thank you for your help,

Fett

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiImageList.au3>
#include <GuiToolbar.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Form1", 623, 449, 192, 114)
$hImageList = _GUIImageList_Create(16, 16, 5)
For $i = 0 To 26
_GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImageList, @ScriptDir & "rcv2.dll", $i, True)
Next
$hToolBar = _GUICtrlToolbar_Create($hGUI, 0)
_GUICtrlToolbar_SetImageList($hToolBar, $hImageList)
For $i = 0 To 10
_GUICtrlToolbar_AddButton($hToolBar, 0, $i, 0)
Next
GUISetState()

While 1
Sleep(10)
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

Thank you very much.

I have an almost identical version of that script that I wrote, I'm not sure why I couldn't get it to work.

Either way, thank you very much. My head feels much better now.

My pleasure!

Just for any of you that may search and find this topic later, I figured out what I was missing:

_GUICtrlToolbar_SetImageList($hToolBar, $hImageList)

Thanks again!
