Hello Everyone,
We are looking to improve the looks of our application home screen. Is it possible to use JPG or PNG instead of BMP on buttonbar?
Also, would anyone provide a sample of the their home screen with code?
We have not updated our home screen layout in a very long time and we want to provide a more professional look.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Button Bar JPG or PNG
Re: Button Bar JPG or PNG
With resources use type 10 for others images
cut16 10 "./res/g1045A.png"
mytest 10 "../icons/blue.ico"
isok BITMAP "../bitmaps//level11.bmp"

How can you compile into .res with Borland ... the highest resolution is 24 bit .. Borland will not compile 32 bit image ?

Hi Rick,
Wich Borland? I think the latest versions should allow 32 bits bmps.
I've been using porc.exe, the Resource Compiler included in Pelles C, for years to include 32 bit bmp into resources. It works great.
Best regards,
Carlos

I am using Bcc72 .. I have been using Bcc70 for a long time .. Brc32 just will not compile any .bmp greater than 24 bit .. You can import a 32 bit bmp into an .rc, but when you compile your .rc into .res .. the compiler blows up. To be honest, I just installed Bcc72 and I haven't tried to compile a 32 bit .bmp in a resource.

Rick, if you define you image of 32 bits:Rick Lipkin wrote:Cristobal

Borland fails to compile the resource, but, if you define your image 32 bits so:files BITMAP "../bitmaps/alphabmp/files.bmp"
The resource is compiled perfectlyfiles 10 "../bitmaps/alphabmp/files.bmp"

As an additional comment, I use the resource compiler brc32.exe also included in Borland 7
My previous post also works with the resource compiler rc.exe
Have a good day in the company of family and friends

Re: Button Bar JPG or PNG
Cristobal .. thanks for your kind words .. planning lunch with my wife this afternoon .. my son will be coming home for the weekend to spend time some time with his Mom and me and a hamburger and hot dog cook-out Sunday evening.
I have all my .bmp's in one .rc ( icons.rc ) .. and I do not see where I can define 10 in Resedit. See screen shot below... Again, thanks !
