Embedding Icons Into AU3 Script!

[Armand]

hey there!

i'm trying to add some resources to my file but it seems like i'm doing something wrong )-:

- i'm compiling the script without upx compression

- then opening it with Resource Hacker and adding 3 ICONS with names: 200|201|202

- then just to make sure i'm opening the file with icon viewing program (from koda) and make sure all the files are there and they are! right after AU3s default 3 icons! situated at locations 3|4|5.

- now when i run the script it seems like the icons are not loading propperly becouse the controls are abscent! i'm using these lines inside the script to create the ICON-CONTROLS:

If @Compiled = 1 Then
    $RemAddress = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptFullPath, 1, 416, 288, 32, 32, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP))
Else
    $RemAddress = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir&"\spam.ico", 0, 416, 288, 32, 32, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP))
EndIf

can anyone spot any mistake or maybe suggest anything ?!

Are you actually writing the Icon Files out to the hard drive and then using them from there? You could do a fileInstall() is so.

I'm pretty sure there can be some issues often with embedding things into autoit exe (like with resource hacker) simply becuase of the dynamic nature of the file (self modifying ect)... somthing to consider...

- dude FileInstall(), i hate him! looking too damn noobish!

- you can embed files freely! the only thing wrong is that it seems like i can't use the embedded icons from the script...

Look here at my post about adding icons to resources.

I think your problem is in using GUICtrlCreateIcon()

I successfully used GUICtrlSetImage() on previously created controls.

So try to create controls first and then apply icons to them by GUICtrlSetImage()

EDIT: also try to use negative numbers as icons numbers due to changes in Autoit icons handling since I posted this my old example

EDIT2: Autoit change was in implementing using also icon names (inside resources) and not only icon indexes so for backward compatibility in definition of parametres with icon index there must be icon indexes negative numbers - see GUICtrlSetImage() in Helpfile

EDIT3: As I said GUICtrlCreateIcon() must have external file (not from resources) but it's icon can be changed then by GUICtrlSetImage() as I proposed --> indexes with negative 1-based index

If @Compiled = 1 Then 
    $AddAddress = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptFullPath, -4, 384, 292, 32, 32, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$BS_ICON))
Else
    $AddAddress = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir&"\aoperz.ico", 0, 384, 292, 32, 32, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$BS_ICON))
EndIf

-> Working propperly (-:
