How can I load bitmaps from a Resource DLL file for Markup?

I have this, but I want to load the bitmap from a different DLL.

XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(IDB_PNG_XAML_SYSINFO, &nIDSysInfo, 1, 0);

Hi,

You can first load bitmap and add it with XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(&bmp, ...) method.

Hi,

Is there a function in ToolkitPro to load the bitmap from a different resource DLL or I need to make my own?

Hi,

you can use static

HBITMAP CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadBitmapFromResource(HMODULE hModule, LPCTSTR lpszResource, BOOL* lbAlphaBitmap); method.

I have tried this, but it does not work :(

UINT nIDSysInfo=1;

hResourceInstance=LoadLibrary(_T("HardRes.dll"));

bmpChassis.FromHandle(CXTPImageManagerIcon::LoadBitmapFromResource(hResourceInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_LOGO_CHASSIS), &bAlpha));

XTPImageManager()->SetIcons(bmpChassis, &nIDSysInfo, 1, CSize(70,107)); // if I use bmpChassis.GetDimensions() instead of CSize it crashes

FreeLibrary(hResourceInstance);

Here's a couple of ways I do this in my code. Hope it helps..

My icons are .ICOs in a resource file, loaded like this:

CXTPImageManagerIconHandle hIcon;

hIcon.CreateIconFromResource(iconInst,MAKEINTRESOURCE(iconIds[x].icon),sz32, TRUE);

XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(hIcon,iconIds[x].cmd);

I load a PNG and attach it to my menu with this code:

    UINT nCommands2[] = {IDB_LOGO};
    CXTPImageManagerIcon hIcon(IDB_LOGO,0,0);
    BOOL b = TRUE;
    HBITMAP bm = hIcon.LoadBitmapFromResource(instResource,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_C2RLOGO),&b);
    CBitmap cbm;
    cbm.Attach(bm);
    b = GetCommandBars()->GetImageManager()->SetIcons(cbm, nCommands2,_countof(nCommands2) ,CSize(0,0), xtpImageNormal, TRUE);
    FreeLibrary(instResource);
