i put a bunch of bmp's into a dll file using xnresourceeditor so i can use em in a program i want to try and make

i downloaded a dll then put my pix in after deleting what was in there cause i didn't want to have a bunch of small pix

but now i can't get it to work

this is the line-

Gui, Add, Picture, x30 y50 Icon1, %a_ScriptDir%\ResPix\EmeraldGel.dll

i don't have much to the script yet as i want to get it to work by pieces so all i got after this is the 'gui, show'

the pic doesn't show up at all and if i put the 'w' and 'h' in that line it just has like a text box with the folder info

i'll keep this page up in my browser to see if anyone can help me with this

lotta thanks

if you want to use the 1st icon in the DLL then Icon1 isn't necessary but do try using 'AltSubmit'.

just tried the altsubmit just as you said, badmojo, with no luck and i would need to be able to use the other pix in my dll too so that is why i used the icon1

i can't use an icon library cuz the pix are different sizes and most of them are bigger than icons are supposed to be, it didn't seem to work right for any of the pix when i tried that anyway

is there any other way of putting them all together in one file or should i just keep them all separate?

i want to make this so i can add different styles of pix as i think of them and would really prefer the dll method but will try just about any other method if it works

TIA!

the problem might be in the dll. use Nirsoft's IconsExtract to extract one of the icons and try again to see if the icon appears.

you were right, there is a problem with my dll.

i thought i just had to remove what was in one and put in what i want.

any idea how i can make a dll for my pix?
