Own buttons with scrollbar button icons?

[RogerL]

I wish to have two buttons with the same icons as the standard windows scrollbar buttons, i.e the little black triangles. Is it possible to reference them wherever MS has stored them? If so where are they? Or is there a better way? TIA, Roger

In the absence of any help I made my own icons with IconFx. Still would be nice not to have do that and reference the icons that exist somewhere in the machine.

Look at the way Fabry used with his Tank game

Open up Character Map and have a look at the Marlett font. That's where MS stores those little arrows, as well as maximize, minimize, close, etc.

Thanks very much for that Saunders.

I changed:

$upButton  = GUICtrlCreateButton ("", 20, 249, 16, 16, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage  ($upButton, "UpTriangle16x16.ico")

to:

$upButton = GUICtrlCreateButton (Chr(0x74), 20, 249, 16, 16)
GUICtrlSetFont ($upButton, 9, 400, 1, "Marlett")

did I do right? (it seems to work ok)

Thanks for the pointer, tho' I couldn't work it out. No comments, don't know Italian and am a beginner with AutoIt

Looks good to me. Although you could have just used "t" instead of Chr(0x74).

Yea, thanks...I guess I'm showing my newbie colours. In the Marlett map it said the character code I wanted was 0x74...a bit of extended thought should have sent me to the ASCII Character Codes list in the AutoIt Help to find the 'normal' character. Anyway thanks again. Edited April 4, 2008 by RogerL
