addicons commandbars method

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi

I am using CodeJock 11.1.3 with Progress 10.1 B. I have an ImageManager and a CommandBarFrames in my design window, and I am trying to get the CommandBarsFrame to use the icons in the ImageManager:

chcommandbar.commandbarsframe.icons.addicons (chimagemanager.imagemanager.icons)

but I get the error 'invalid component handle referenced while processing method/statement: addicons'

It works fine if I simply do this:

chcommandbar.commandbarsframe.icons = chimagemanager.imagemanager.icons

I am just a bit concerned doing it this way as I cannot find anything in the CodeJock documentation that says you can simply set one to equal the other - the documentation says use 'addicons' which doesn't seem to work for me.

	Sorry Oleg, I'm not quite clear - you are saying that they way I am doing it is correct, and the 'addicons' method should not be used ?

	Yes, your method is correct. 'addicons' will not work because by default CommandBarsframe.Icons returns Null.

	Thanks Oleg. Can I ask you two more questions on this please? I am actually adding icons to a Shortcutbar control and then setting my CommandbarsFrame icons by doing this: chcommandbar.commandbarsframe.icons = chshortcutbar.shortcutbar.icons Would it be better to add the icons to an ImageManager control and then set both the ShortCutBar and the CommandbarsFrame to use the icons there, as below, or does it not really matter? chshortcutbar.shortcutbar.icons = chimagemanager.imagemanager.icons chcommandbar.commandbarsframe.icons = chimagemanager.imagemanager.icons The second question is to do with ImageManagerIcons.loadbitmap. I am actually loading .png files and it seems to work, but the documentation says you must load .bmp files. Is the documentation out-of-date ?
