Is there a way to import multiple files together in the IDE in design time?

 

We are looking for some kind of batch processing of png files from a folder so we don't have to import them manually.

 

It is easy to import the images in runtime, but there's no runtime-export function.

Otherwise we could import the exported file in design time.

That would be nice.

 

You can load them in runtime, use CommandBars.DoPropExchange to export them to xml and in desigtime load this xml from properties of ImageManager.

Here's my test project. I'm not shure, but I think the CommandBar-Control can not export only the images from the ImageManager. The SaveStateToXMLString doesen't work on my sample in this case.

What I like to do:

 

 

I like to save the images without CommandBar.

I need to export the images in the Image Manager in runtime the same way I can do it in designtime. 

Look at picture : "Export To XML".

 

We can import new images in runtime (batch processing a folder) and we like to export them in runtime to XML.

After this we like to import them in design time.

With this steps we would have all the images in the vb form files (frm/frx).

 

Private Sub Command2_Click()

Set CommandBars1.Icons = ImageManager1.Icons

Dim myStateOptions As StateOptions
Set myStateOptions = CommandBars1.CreateStateOptions
myStateOptions.SerializeImages = True
myStateOptions.SerializeLayout = False

Dim PropExchange As PropExchange
Set PropExchange = CommandBarsGlobalSettings.CreatePropExchange
PropExchange.CreateAsXML False, "DesignerFile"

CommandBars1.DoPropExchange PropExchange, myStateOptions

PropExchange.SaveToFile App.Path & "\Output.xml"

End Sub

 

Thank you Oleg!
