Hi,

Most easy way for .NET is add ImageManager control andadd all icons in design time.

i use Xbase++ and like to ask "deeper".

i know how to use ImageManager LoadIcon/LoadBitmap but it meen that
all Icon/Bitmap have to be "single Files" on Harddisk.
i like to use my *.ARC Resource file

LoadBitmapFromResource(Module,Resource,Commands,imageState)

Module
Handle to the instance of the module whose executable file contains the bitmap to be loaded.

hm ... let say Application have a Form "oDlg". In my *.ARC File i have "ICON nResID" which
will display in upper left Corner of "oDlg" so my Icon are "bind"(?) to *.EXE.

is Module = oDlg:Hwnd ?

Resource
Long pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the bitmap resource to be loaded.

so again a Question : how must my "Resource" File look like ?
now it is in a *.ARC File

ICON
   1   = ".\..\RES\OHR2.ICO"
   2   = ".\..\RES\STAR32.ICO"

BITMAP
   100 = ".\..\RES\100_FILE_NEW.bmp"
   101 = ".\..\RES\101_FILE_OPEN.bmp"
...

VERSION
   "CompanyName"      = "Auge & Ohr"
...
#define MANIFEST_RESID 1
#define MANIFEST 24

USERDEF MANIFEST
MANIFEST_RESID = FILE "EXTFILE.EXE.MANIFEST"

Commands
Determines if bitmap contained alpha layer.

hm ... �h ... can you tell it a Newbie what it meen ? Sample ?

thx for help

Hi,

Guess this ARC files its some special format of xBase. Think ImageManager controls is also better solution for you.
