Greenhorn Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Salute,I've seen in the ResHacker-Options of the AutoIt Wrapper that I'm able to add other resources to my EXE ! Now I'm asking myself, if it is possible to add BMP-files to my EXE and use'em in my Script ... Naturally I could add the BMP manually with ResHacker, but is there a way to use the BMP-Resource i.e. a GUI or something like that ???In the Helpfile of SciTE I didn't got satisfacted about this question. If sombody could give me an affirmative answer and the way how to use it in my Script/GUI, I would be very delighted !

Greenhorn Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanx evilertoaster, I know FileInstall, but with this command I have to extract it anywhere ! That's not what I want and asked for... I want to use it directly from the resource, like the Icons with #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilertoaster Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 People did ask this before, i'm not sure wether it was extended beyond icons or not. Read this-http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=44527and the other link provided in that post. Also try a serach on the forums for somthing like 'embed exe resource' and i think there should be a few things that come up relating to this issue.

Greenhorn Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I wanna use the Picture for a Splash Screen.I'm writing a Startfile for an portable Application and it should work Global.That means, that the Starter can be placed anywhere on the Stick, 'cause it has a Search Function to find the directory of the App.If you're asking me, how to add the resource with ResHacker ...... in the Menu -> Action -> New Resource.How I would call it in the Script ..., hmmm ...... I have to study the Link from above at first, it looks like a solution, doesn't it ?Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhorn Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Maybe a look in the PE Header would bring a little more light in this case ?! How is a resource (i.e. an icon) called by the exe ..., that should be visible in the PE Section Header, am I wrong ? But I never used a PE viewer up to now ...

The question on the table isn't really how to add a resource, but how to use it from Autoit3 once it is in there.So my question to you to figure out after you added an BMP manually to the EXE : How do you want to use this resource in your Script ? (More or less like the example I included in the SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile for Icons.My reason for asking is that I am not going to invest time in adding functionality to AutoIt3Wrapper when its not "simple" to use it for the average scripter.

In the attachment below is my Template Script for which I could need it ... Somehow I don't seem to make myself clear to you.... I am not going to investigate and solve it for you and I have the impression you think I am. If you have a process how to do it and it is something that could be used by a larger population, I will consider putting support for it in AutoIt3Wrapper like I did for Icons.

Zedna Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Have you looked at these links? ?????????Lar.I don't understand what you mean.Add BMP to EXE as resource can be done by ResHacker or by compiler directives if JDeB will add them in the future.These links shows Larry's SetBitmapResourceToPicCtrl() function which get resources from DLL and maybe can be used also for get resources from EXE.I didn't tested it so I don't know if it's possible (get resources also from EXE and not only from DLL).

Greenhorn Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 @JdeB Sorry, my english isn't as well as your's ... . But I think I'm savvy it now. Naturally you shouldn't solve the problem for me. But to make this an optional Feature for easy use in AutoIt, it have to be implemented in the Source Code of AutoIt, just like somebody did it for the Icons. Sadly I'm not yet able to code in C++. @Larry I've taken a look at the Function you created ... . Awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't talking about you creating an internal function in AutoIt3, but thought you knew of a solution to use BMP's included in the program resources in the current autoit3 version either direct or by means of DllCall() s ....I think your English is pretty good by the way ... for me its also my second language and I know some that think Iam lousy at it Edited July 14, 2007 by JdeB SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
