Zedna Example Script to Load ICO from resources - (Moved)

[mikestern]

Hi Guys,

I have project full of ICO type images and I want it to be inside the compiled executable rather than installed file in program file to protect any modification by users.

I found Zedna UDF is a great solution, I downloaded the ResourcesEX but I still cannot understand how it work through the example there.

Can any one show me a simple example how add  image (image.ico) to be loaded from resources using Zedna resources and function ?

I can deploy the example in my script for all the pictures included.

;Pictures in the script example : 
;After instalation, a floder containinng Assest is created in Program file to load pictures. 

$SettingIco = GUICtrlCreateIcon("C:\Program Files (x86)\My Software File\setting.ico", -1, 155, 55, 100, 100)
$LockerIco = GUICtrlCreateIcon("C:\Program Files (x86)\My Software File\loker.ico", -1, 345, 50, 120, 120)

;Loading the above from Executable will protect any form of modificaction and property rights

Thank you in advance.

You do not need to use any UDF if you just want to add icons here and there in your GUI script.

Just add your .ico file with wrapper :

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=Start.ico,151
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=Stop.ico,152

Then access the ressources like this :

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 72, 127, 105, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @AutoItExe, 151)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 168, 72, 127, 105, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @AutoItExe, 152)

Remember that in order to show the .ico, you need to compile your script !

Additional info : if you do not specify any number in wrapper, it is starting at 201.  To create an icon control, you can use this :

GUICtrlCreateIcon(@AutoItExe, 201, 308, 28, 16, 16)

thanks Nine,

It was very helpful. I needed to add reshacker.exe also in AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper path.
Also it requires Scite4AutoIt3 to compile

Many thanks again.

You shouldn't need reshacker, but do need the full scite4autoit3 installer.

Hi Jos,

I downloaded the latest version of scite4autoit3 (full Adds-on) but it does not work with installing the Reshaker.

Meanwhile, is it possible to insert exe inside the main executable script ?

Assuming this Software component like below :

1. Main Exe

2. 2 Exe to be called by Main Exe

3. Dll File to support main Exe an other Exe for main installation folder

How to include all (2) & (3)  inside the main EXE (TO be compiled )  using ZEDNA or other approach ?

thanks

No idea what you mean here, but AutoIt3Wrapper.au3 is not using reshacker to add recourses to the PE Header. 
Post your source code that you test with so we can see what you are doing.
