button and pictures

[Spider001]

Hey,

example file c:autoit.exe (any file)

create a button with text on it "autoit" (can be any text)

now the question

how can i retrive the icon from that file(any file) and use it at the background on that button so i can see the text on the icon?

thank you

Are you talking about removing the icon from an executable and using it in your script? Typically this is included in the compiled executable, and not something you can pull simply - or even have rights to pull, depending on the exe. (unless I'm misunderstanding what you're after).

Welcome to the Autoit forum!

So, you want to take the icon from other executable and use it in your application? What's the purpose?

thanks  MikahS

get the icon from exe,bat,lnk,txt,........ and set it on the background from a button so i can still read the text that i want on that same button.

just like my photo did not found a way to upload pic

Have you tried just using an image and then put a label over the image so you click on the label instead of a button (you can even use an image with shadow so it looks like a button)? That's what I did when I created a "lock" button. Little lock image (bmp) and a label over it.

my first problem is to get the icon from a file
