I want to load AlphaSkin's Imagelist from resource. Commonly I know, how to load a normal bitmap, and use in my application. But there is not help, how to load a prev. stored PNG image into alphaskin imagelist.
The imagelist supports only: Add(Bitmap...)
methods, but there is no way to load PNG image directly.
I found this function:
AddImageFromRes
But I don't know, how this working.
May you can know more about this. The general question: how to compile PNG images into the res file to I can get them into Alpha imagelist.
Thanks for your help: dd
So: the question have three parts.
I have a PNG icon library, and I want to create resources from some icons. For example: The AlphaSkin Button have ImageList property, and I can set the glyph from here. I want to make my own button, that have my own kinds, with hungarian captions, icons, and mr* kind (mrOk). For this I need to store the icons.
1.) How to store PNG to AlphaSkin CAN read it? I know that RCDATA can hold ANY files, so I can compile them into res file.
2.) How to I read this previously stored PNG resource?
3.) I tested this AddImageFromRes function, but I got interesting bugs. May I do something wrong, or my I need to set something I missed before. May I need to convert PNG files to "ico"? Is this a possible solution? Some example can help us...
Thanks for your help: dd
