How to show a JPG file?

[SWINX]

This works:

GUICtrlCreateButton ("my picture button", 10,20,40,40, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage (-1, "shell32.dll",22)

But when I try to show a JPG, it doesn't work out.

I also tried this:

$imgInstallFiles = GUICtrlCreatePic("..\_shared\true.jpg", 10, 53, 15, 15)

But also that didn't show my picture

Also tried to specify the full path to the image, but nothing seems to work

Somebody who knows why, and how to fix it?

i think bitmaps and icons are the only image types allowed for buttons

from the helpfile: " In both case the $BS_ICON or $BS_BITMAP styles are needed to select the type of the picture used."

You can use GUICtrlCreatePic and assign events to it, but it won't appear to push and release like a button does...

i accomplished it before just make it so when the image is clicked it changes pictures

I didn't see there where different types to set.

I will convert my JPG to BMP and use the $BS_BITMAP style.

Thanks for your replies

It still didn't work, but the problem seemd to be you have to specify a FULL path, it works fine now.

Try using macros in your code. It will make your code more portable and easier to work with.

Example:

$Funnybtn = GUICtrlCreatePic(@WorkingDir & "\msgbox.jpg",0,0,0,0)

Aye, What Slim said...

I suggest @ScriptDir instead of @WorkingDir
