Inserting an icon on a button

[Natter]

Hi,

There is a TButtonBmp button. I select a file via cGetFile and get the icon associated with the type of this file

nam:=cGetFile()
aa:=0
img:=BmpFromIcon(EXTRACTASSICON( 0, nam, @aa))

Now I need to insert this icon into the button. How can I do that ?

Buttonaction of oBtn2 changes the bitmap < setup1.bmp > of oBtn3 to < setup2.bmp >

@ 50, 180 BTNBMP oBtn2 ;
OF oDlg FLAT ;
SIZE 64, 64 ;
PIXEL ;
RESOURCE 0xE10B ;
ACTION ( oBtn3:LoadBitmap( 'SETUP2.bmp' ), oBtn3:Refresh() ) ; // update of oBtn3
COLOR CLR_WHITE, 12088150

@ 50 , 280 BUTTONBMP oBtn3 BITMAP 'SETUP1.bmp' SIZE 64, 64 PIXEL OF oDlg ;
ACTION MsgAlert( "Test" )

I didn't understand - BmpFromIcon(EXTRACTASSICON returns a bimap handle. I can't use :LoadBitmap method to enter handle

Try with

Code: Select all  Expand view

@ 50, 180 BTNBMP oBtn2 ;
OF oDlg FLAT ;
SIZE 64, 64 ;
PIXEL ;
RESOURCE 0xE10B ;
ACTION ( nam:=cGetFile(), oBtn3:LoadBitmap( nam ), oBtn3:Refresh() ) ; // update of oBtn3
COLOR CLR_WHITE, 12088150

We can use any filename as bitmap file. FWH will extract the icon and display it as bitmap of the button.

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oDlg, oFont, aSave
   local aFile := { "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRD32.Exe", ;
                    "c:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe", ;
                    "c:\fwh\samples\pdfharu1H.pdf", ;
                    "c:\fwh\manual\fwcmd.chm" }

   aSave := SetDefaultIconSize()
   SetDefaultIconSize( 64, 64 )

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "TAHOMA" SIZE 0,-20
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 400,500 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL FONT oFont

   @  40,40 BUTTONBMP PROMPT "AcrobatReader.Exe" BITMAP aFile[ 1 ] ;
            SIZE 300,80 PIXEL OF oDlg TEXTRIGHT

   @ 140,40 BUTTONBMP PROMPT "NotePad.Exe"       BITMAP aFile[ 2 ] ;
            SIZE 300,80 PIXEL OF oDlg TEXTRIGHT

   @ 240,40 BUTTONBMP PROMPT "PdfHaru1.pdf"      BITMAP aFile[ 3 ] ;
            SIZE 300,80 PIXEL OF oDlg TEXTRIGHT

   @ 340,40 BUTTONBMP PROMPT "fwcmd.chm"         BITMAP aFile[ 4 ] ;
            SIZE 300,80 PIXEL OF oDlg TEXTRIGHT

   SetDefaultIconSize( aSave[ 1 ], aSave[ 2 ] )

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
   RELEASE FONT oFont

return nil
 

It is not necessary to write this code

Code: Select all  Expand view

img:=BmpFromIcon(EXTRACTASSICON( 0, nam, @aa))
 

in the application program.
Both BUTTONBMP and BTNBMP automatically does this job for us, without writing this code.
