    Posted: 07 December 2008 at 2:56pm
By trial and error I have used the (new in 12.1) .PaintManager.Glyphs.AddIcons method to add a "collapsed" icon at index=1 for the ReportControl.

However, whilst I can get other indexes to work, e.g. with column sort icons, I can't get an index for the "expanded" state to work - I always get the default icon displayed. 

I presume this is index=2, but I have tried lots of others.  Am I missing something?  Thanks.


Regards

Thanks for that --- however, correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't appear to be able to add an image of command "0" to an ImageManager directly (at least in VB).

It also appears that "AddIcon" will not work with command=0; the only method I found that worked was LoadBitmap... but clearly that's not ideal as you end up with loose bmp files.

However, having got the glyphs setup it certainly works fine.  I now have my Vista-style folder tree!  Thanks for the enhancement.

Regards

... so is this a bug or is there a work-around to insert icons with ID of 0 for use with glyphs?  Thanks.

Hi,
 
You could load bitmaps from ImageManager. It should work but it doesn't...
 
With wndReportControl
    With .PaintManager
        With .Glyphs
            .RemoveAll
            .AddBitmap ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(ID_REPORT_COLLAPSE, 16).Handle, 0, xtpImageNormal, False
            .AddBitmap ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(ID_REPORT_EXPAND, 16).Handle, 1, xtpImageNormal, False
        End With
    End With
End With
 
 
It looks like GetImage is returning same handle for every image in Manager  
 
If this would be fixed you should be able to load images from ImageManager and it wouldn't matter what ID was assigned to it.

Hi,
 
I did another attempt... because I noticed that images were loaded in a single bitmap side by side...
 
With wndReportControl
    With .PaintManager
        With .Glyphs
            .RemoveAll
            .AddBitmap ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(ID_REPORT_GLYPHS_FIRSTIMAGE, 16).Handle, Array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) , xtpImageNormal, True
        End With
    End With
End With
 
And this isn't working neither if more than 8 images are loaded into ImageManager  (note added 25-12-2008)
 
Note: ID_REPORT_GLYPHS_FIRSTIMAGE = id of first image in ImageManager (the collapse image for ReportControl))

.Glyphs.AddIcons ImageManager.Icons

Hi Oleg,
 
That is why we can't use it, because ImageManager icon ID can't be assigned as 0 (as Andrew666 complaint about) and first icon doesn't show. So workaround (above) is needed to get all images from ImageManager needed for .Glyphs icons starting with index = 0. 
 
I don't see any other way, maybe you have something in mind we can use instead...  
 
About handle: why does ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(id, 16).Handle return same handle for every icon in Imagemanager?

Hi,
 
I have managed to create a test project for this. It looks like the images will be created for Glyphs images (from ImageManager)
 
I have to point you to post: https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9492 just in case...

Hi Oleg,
 
If Hans Klok ever needs a new assitant, you could be the one Oleg...  I know magicians don't tell how they do it, but could you make an exception this time?  
 
btw Did you check the .Handle property? Why it returns same handle everytime?
 
Thanks a lot

Hello,
 
Secret somewhere between "export" and "import" magic words :)
 
As we wrote in release notes for 11.2.1, ImageManager now have only 2 GDI Bitmaps that contains all icons. So developers can have 1000 icons in single image manager and don't worry about GDI objects number. So now Handle return common bitmap handle :(

Thanks for that fix Oleg --- I don't know how you got an icon of index=0 into the example imagemanager you uploaded, but if I copy/paste it into my project I can then replace it with my own bitmaps and all is working.

Regards

Hi Oleg,
 
OK, now I understand how you did this My approach would be less work and easier to do and it wouldn't matter what ID was assigned to it. The downside is when bitmaps with alpha were added, stdPicture can't deal with those images  
 
I tried something else because of the alpha images...
 
    Dim im As Object
       
    For i = 500 To 507
        Set im = ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(i, 16).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal)
        wndReportControl.PaintManager.Glyphs.AddIcon im, i - 500, xtpImageNormal
    Next i
 
 
But I'm not sure if this is a correct way to do it. It looks like it's working though  Would be nice if it could like this...
 
Thanks

Hi,
Such code can work in WindowsXP/Vista but not in older OS that doesn't support Alpha icons :(

Hi Oleg,
 
Thanks for reply. If OS doesn't support alpha icons, I can't use alpha icons anyway, right?
 
Thanks

Hi SuperMario,
 
What does this mean?
 
 
A few replies back Oleg said: Hi,

And what does this mean?
