rilian Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I was looking at the example code for GUISetIcon. It is the same in the help file as it is in the online documentation found here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/GUISetIcon.htm. Reproduced here in full: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\icons\filetype1.ico" Local $msg GUICreate("My GUI new icon") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered GUISetIcon($sFile) ; will change icon GUISetState(); will display an empty dialog box ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example The line that sets the path: Local $sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\icons\filetype1.ico" ...Specifies "iconsfiletype1.ico" as the file to use as a sample. This file does not exist in my install. The folder does exist and contains 4 files: au3.ico, au3script_v9.ico, au3script_v10.ico and filetype-blank.ico. Thus, this example does not work w/o modification. When I changed the line above to: Local $sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\icons\au3.ico" The icon was set and worked properly as expected. Is this file missing from the install? Has it been replaced? Is my install incorrect somehow and missing this file or does the example need to be updated? Thanks. p.s. I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. It seemed the best place a the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution UEZ Posted October 8, 2013 Solution Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Seems to be a bug (not updated version) in the help file. Use this line instead: Local $sFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\icons\filetype-blank.ico" Br, UEZ Edited October 8, 2013 by UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!

13lack13lade Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 sorry to jump onto this topic however i believe its relevant.. I have a dashboard used by many users on the network however i want to set the icon file, using the example it uses regread however am i correct in saying i could just like $sFile to my ico, whatever its location e.g networkdrivedocumentsimages and set it that way?

BrewManNH Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The regread is only getting the installation directory for where you installed AutoIt, it has nothing to do with the GUISetIcon function itself, you only need a path and filename to assign the icon to the control or GUI. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
