Show image in GUI

[13lack13lade]

Hey guys,

Im trying to show an image in gui preferable bmp or png as it needs to be good quality and jpg just doesnt cut it, however i cant get the image to show...

.bmp works in koda but doesnt work when i try to load it in autoit and as for PNG i noticed i have to use GDI plus? i tried writing abit of code and i dont see why its not working - what am i doing wrong?

Global Const $IMAGE_BITMAP = 0
Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172
Global $msg
Global Const $idPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("\\fbnecl3\inzb\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\Charts\scorecard.png", 183, 144, 985, 577)
_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global Const $png = StringReplace(@AutoItExe, "autoit3.exe", "ExamplesGUITorus.png")
Global Const $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($png)
Global Const $Bmp = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject(GUICtrlSendMsg($idPic, $STM_SETIMAGE, $IMAGE_BITMAP, $Bmp))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
 

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
 Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                _WinAPI_DeleteObject($Bmp)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
            _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
            GUIDelete($lscscreen)
            Exit
    
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I don't know for sure, but have you used a unc path for an image before?  I have only ever used local paths which I have created as a resource directory on the target machine I am running on.  I can say with certainty that I have used @scriptdir and a local path, but have not tried a unc or network path really.

Yep i use absolute paths for all of my gui' images and never have an issue.. it just seems to be with .bmp and .png

i just cant understand why the .bmp loads in koda and not in autoit - ultimately i want to use the .png but i would settle for getting the .bmp to work. - i am still a noob so im going to bet money im doing something wrong lol

Try this:

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172
Global $msg
Global Const $lscscreen = GUICreate("Test", 985, 577)
Global Const $idPic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 183, 144, 985, 577)
_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global Const $png = StringReplace(@AutoItExe, "autoit3.exe", "Examples\GUI\Torus.png") ;$png = "\\fbnecl3\inzb\Documents\Load Support\Tom\Projects\Dashboard\Charts\scorecard.png"
Global Const $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($png)
Global Const $Bmp = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject(GUICtrlSendMsg($idPic, $STM_SETIMAGE, $IMAGE_BITMAP, $Bmp))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)



While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
 Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($Bmp)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
            _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
            GUIDelete($lscscreen)
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd
