Not with this library (on its own).

Icons are not bitmaps. ICO files hold multiple sizes and formats, BMP and PNG do not. An ICO file is more closely equivalent to a GDI Icon object, which is what this library uses in most cases.

Thanks Lexikos...

I was hardly using the gnome standart png icons in my programs ( http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon ), and is a problem for me duplicate all cliparts from .png to .ico. (as the names of icons are the same, I can make thing like to select diferent themes...)

I have tried png2ico.exe ( http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/ ) to convert some .pngs in one .ico file but this function dont works with more than the first icon inside .ico file.

Do you know if there are an alternative to use .png as menu icons?, or do you know how to use this library with a .ico file containing all icons I want to use?

Thanks in advance....

AutoHotkey_L supports menu icons natively; it can use any supported image file as an icon.

ICO files are designed to contain multiple images, of varying sizes and colour depths - typically representing the same icon. When an icon is loaded from the file (using specific Win32 API's), the image closest to the requested size and the current display depth is used, not necessarily the first image. This is useful because icons usually don't scale well.

Though it is possible for an ICO file to hold multiple icons of the same format, the Win32 API does not directly support it. Additional code would be needed to manually extract the appropriate image from the ICO file. Even then, if each icon within the file additionally has multiple formats, there wouldn't be any clear way to determine which images belong to which "icon".

If you really want to package multiple icons in one file, you could create a resource-only DLL file or embed the icons in a compiled script (Compile_AHK II makes this easy). However, you'd probably need to convert each PNG file to an ICO file first.

Why? Have you considered using a simple file loop to run png2ico once for each png?

Hello again Lexikos.

Im using your lib, and I am in troubles with launch of the menulabels. With menu icons sometimes dont respond to the selection of the menus. Sometimes I have to select, move the mouse to focus another and then select second time, and usually launch the label.

If I use standart menus (without icons, the response is as usual).

Do you know why can be this...

Thanks in advance.

I have discover why it fails...
Its because Im using tooltips with active links, and calling ToolTip("",lParam,"") at WM_Notify().

If I disable this (not calling ToolTip("",lParam,"") in my WM_Notify() the menus work fine (but donk work the links).


Sorry by the bad report.

I wasn't able to reproduce your problem, since the tooltip failed to show if I showed a menu...

Try adding the following immediately below the TTN_LINKCLICK: label in ToolTip():
Code:
      if NumGet(text+0) != TT_HWND
          return    ; NOT a tooltip notification.
Also, did you try leaving OnMessage() but commenting out the ToolTip() call? Which operating system are you on?

Thanks Lexikos....
I have discover that the notify is not my problem, because I have same problems even disable all timers...

Thats my code:
Code:

#include MenuIcons.ahk
Gui, Add, ListView, +LV0x4400 x0 y152 h255 w566 Sort hwndhMyList vvMyList ggMyList AltSubmit Count500 , Col1|Co2|Col3|Col4|Col5

gMiLista:                               ; @ mouse click in the ListBox
   LV_GetText(id_seleccion, LV_GetNext("F"),2)
   ; some code to extract info from list
   if ( A_GuiControlEvent = "Normal" ) {
      Menu, MiMenu, add
      Menu, MiMenu, delete
      mix:=0
      Menu, MiMenu, add, %mode% to %c12% ,LABEL_Callto
      MI_SetMenuItemIcon("MiMenu",mix+=1,"phone.png.ico", 1, 16)
      if (cip_conectado=0)
         Menu, MiMenu, Disable, %mode% to %c12%
      }
      Menu, MiMenu, add, %mode% to %c13% ,LABEL_Callto
      MI_SetMenuItemIcon("MiMenu", mix+=1,"cellphone.png.ico", 1, 16)
      if (cip_conectado=0)
         Menu, MiMenu, Disable, %mode% to %c13%
      if (mix>0) {
         MI_SetMenuStyle("MiMenu", 0x4000000)
         MI_ShowMenu("MiMenu")
         }
      }
   if ( A_GuiControlEvent = "RightClick" )
      {
      ; Another menu...
      }
return

LABEL_Callto:
   ; code
return


I am using WXP SP3.

I have more information.

I have logged messages at MI_OwnerDrawnMenuItemWndProc

Code:
MI_OwnerDrawnMenuItemWndProc(hwnd, Msg, wParam, lParam)
{
    static WM_DRAWITEM = 0x002B, WM_MEASUREITEM = 0x002C, WM_COMMAND = 0x111
    static ScriptHwnd
    Critical 500
;    if (Msg <> WM_MEASUREITEM and Msg <> WM_DRAWITEM and Msg <> 289 and Msg <> 287 and Msg <> 512)
;   log(5,"Msg=" . Msg . " wParam=" . wParam . " lParam=" . lParam)


And I can see that "sometimes", OS is not sending WM_COMMAND when I clic on a menu item. Sometimes I have to clic until 5 times to launch label.

I dont know why this is happen...

Other problem I have found is that keyboard is not working as standar menus (without icons), in witch you can navigate with keyboard and select with {enter}.

With MenuIcons, keyboards sometimes dont respond to arrow-keys, and you cant select with {Enter}.

Hi Lexikos, thanks for your functions, they are awesome Smile

But I've got a problem, when I integrate it into one of my scripts:
Code:
#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
Menu, MineSub, Add, Spam, Spam
Menu, MineSub, Add, Real, Real
Menu, Mine, Add, Spam-Mail, :MineSub
MI_SetMenuItemIcon("Mine",  1, "SpamMail_Icon.ico","",16)
MI_SetMenuStyle("Mine", 0x4000000)
Hotkey, RButton, RBLabel, On T3
Return
+ESC::ExitApp

+^!RButton::Hotkey, RButton, RBLabel, Off

RBLabel:
v++
ToolTip
If v = 2
{
   v = 0
   MI_ShowMenu("Mine")
   MsgBox
}
Else if v = 1
{
   ToolTip, Go, 100, 100
   Sleep, 300
   If v = 1
   {
      Click, Right
      v = 0
   }
}
Return

Spam-Mail:
Menu, MineSub, Show
Return

Real:
Send, myrealemail@email.com
Return

Spam:
Send, myfakemail@fakemail.com
Return

Why does it, after I double click RButton and then don't integrate with your menu, but simply click RButton again, instant send the RButton to the window and doesn't sleep 300ms? Can you try it out please, to understand whats the problem?

Thank you

PostPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 5:21 am    Post subject: Rename and Change icon Reply with quote
Hi Lex,

I'm using your MI.ahk with AHK (non L) and found that large dinamic menus take some time to build.

I would like to be able to rename and change the icon of Menu items pref by Menu item position or Handle, So instead of rebuilding it I'll be modifying if and hopefully increase performance.

Is there any functions to do so?

Also when rebuilding a parent menu item it's children will loose the icons.

BTW, they look so nice when geting the right icons! Very Happy

You could just use Menu, Rename (using the old name) then reset the icon. If that isn't sufficient, perhaps MMenu will do the job. Or did you mean to reuse existing menu items for something entirely different? I doubt that'll help performance.

As a side-effect of deleting the parent menu, the native OS menu objects of its submenus are destroyed. AutoHotkey recreates the submenus as needed, but obviously knows nothing about the icons, so you must reset them. (However, note that AutoHotkey_L natively supports menu icons.)
