sshrum Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Did a quick search but didn't find what I was looking for...seems basic enough to me. I'm trying to create a icon in my GUI window and I am getting back a blank box sans the ico file I indicated. The help file examples don't show a way to use a .ico file without having to use a iconName (typically for dll's, icl's, etc.) This is a stand alone ico file What needs to be done to display a stand alone .ico image? TIA P.S: Haven't seen it yet but will the icon object respect the icon's transparent properties? P.S.S.: It might be helpful to update the AutoIT help file to include a list of supported file types for icon and picture objects...currently the supported types are not listed in the GUICTRLCREATEICON or GUICTRLCREATEPIC sections nor are there links to a section in the help file that does cover this. Here's an example snippet: #Include <Constants.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> $iGUIWidth = 756 $iGUIHeight = 1024 $iGUILeft = (@DesktopWidth/2) - ($iGUIWidth/2) $iGUITop = (@DesktopHeight/2) - ($iGUIHeight/2) $sBackground = "<any .jpg file here>" $sIcon = "<any .ico file here>" $iGUI = GuiCreate("MyGUI",$iGUIWidth,$iGUIHeight,$iGUILeft,$iGUITop,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) $iBackground = GUICtrlCreatePic($sBackground,0,0,$iGUIWidth,$iGUIHeight) $iIcon = GUICtrlCreateIcon($sIcon,-1,20,20,64,64) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $iGUI) Sleep(5000) For me, I'm getting a grey square in the upper left hand corner...this should be the icon image.

sshrum Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nvrmnd...seems that AutoIT didn't like the specific .ico I was specifying Sean Shrum :: http://www.shrum.net All my published AU3-based apps and utilities 'Make it idiot-proof, and someone will make a better idiot' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehunt114 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) I believe you need to have the correct type of icon. I am pretty certain size matters...16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 are acceptable. There's something about color too.
