I need some help creating an icon control. [fixed]

[Tvern]

After messing around for hours I decided it was time to get some help.

I'd like to use a few icon controls instead of buttons to maky my script look better. I've included the icons in my compiled script using compile with option, wich added the following to my script:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=ico\Library.ico ;the icon the exe will use
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Fileversion=1.0.0.1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=ico\user_remove.ico ;control icon 1
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add=ico\user_add.ico ;control icon 2
#EndRegionoÝ÷ Øý½ë¬yÚÞ²«qèZrG«¶!yÉ"~Ø^Ê'³^­è§r[yÖ§vØ^ɪ޶«yIÝz¸¢{-ì¢g®§­Ø^¢·b©gjg¬çF§wg¢Ú®×¬º·°«m«fy©ìRw^®'(

I've been able to use the icon used by the exe (Library.ico), but how do I find the values for the other icons I added?

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Edit: If this can be done using pictures instead of icons that would be nice too.

Edit2: Ofcoarse I figured it out after asking for help muttley using the number of the imagegroup for $icon works. If anyone can tell me how to specify a specific icon in that imagegroup (when including a multi resolution icon) that would be cool though.

There's a way to use an RT_ICON from an RT_GROUP_ICON, but it's not short.

It involves the functions LoadLibrary(), ResourceEnumNames(), FindResource(), LoadResource(), SizeOfResource(), LockResource(), CreateIconFromResource().

If the RT_ICON is a PNG icon then also CreateStreamOnHGlobal(), GdipCreateBitmapFromStream(), GdipCreateHICONFromBitmap().

All the above functions I'm using in icon viewing & extraction utility I've written and posted recently to do exactly "how to specify a specific icon in that imagegroup (when including a multi resolution icon)".

Sorry I don't have a brief simple example to demonstrate the above on hand atm.

But you can work it all out using Zedna's Resources.au3, ProgAndy's BinaryImage.au3 and MSDN.

Maybe this can get you started.

Thanks for the responses. I played around a bit trying to find the right resolution icon, but since I am adding the icons myself it's easier to just add more single icons. Atleast it's working now. muttley
