Hi to all,
I created a resource file in Visual C++ 6.0 that contains 3 bitmaps. It is
compiled and included in a Visual Basic 6.0 project. I can see the resource
file under the "Related Documents" of my project in the Project Group window.
I'm trying to populate an ImageCombo with these bitmaps. For this, I created
an ImageList control and I'm trying to fill it with these bitmaps by doing:
For index = 1 To 3
sImage = GetImage(index)
imgList.ListImages.add(, , LoadResPicture(sImage, vbResBitmap))
Next
Function GetImage(index As Integer) As String
Dim sImage As String
Select Case index
Case 1
sImage = "IDB_CIRCLE" 'The ID of the bitmap resource in VC++
Case 2
sImage = "IDB_SQUARE" 'The ID of the bitmap resource in VC++
Case 3
sImage = "IDB_TRIANGLE" 'The ID of the bitmap resource in VC++
End Select
GetImage = sImage
End Function
Please note that my code worked fine when I was loading the bitmaps from a
hard-coded path (instead of trying to load them from the resource file) using:
LoadPicture(sPath + sImage + sExt) 'sExt = ".bmp"
When you created the resource file, did you actually use strings for the indexes? Are those IDB_ strings actually supposed to be constants for numeric values? Have you tried creating your resource file using VB's Resource Editor AddIn?
