How to use dialog in resources and bitmaps in dll?

[Anderson.OL]

The distribution of the system is easier, because the dll will only be a send an only time.
I need to know how to load the dll without losing the included resource in the program!

Dear Anderson,

Try this, it works for me.

Code: Select all  Expand view

Function main()
Public hResc
.....
hResc := GetResources()  // Main .RC file
SET RESOURCES TO ("EZ4SCR.DLL")
SET RESOURCES TO ("BWCC.DLL")
SetResource( hResc )
.....
return

Function Sub
   SET RESOURCES TO "EZ4SCR.DLL"
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg
       .....
       oDlg:bStart := {|| SetResources( MEMVAR->hResc ) }
   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg

return

Hello, thank you for helping, but it was not 100%!

My code is this:

Code: Select all  Expand view

 
   hRes := GetResources() 
   SetResources( hRes ) 
   ... 
   SetResources('Bitmaps.dll') 
   @ 10,10 Image oImage resource cWallPaper Of oWnd Pixel //-- In bitmaps.dll 
   ... 
   SetResources( hRes )     
   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg Resource "DLGSELEMPRESA" of ownd //-- In Main.rc 
   SetResources('Bitmaps.dll')
   REDEFINE ButtonBmp oBtnExit ID 203 of oDlg Bitmap "Exit24" //-- In bitmaps.dll 
   oDlg:bStart := {|| SetResources('Bitmaps.dll') } 
   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED

The object oImage show the resource, but the object ButtonBmp not!
What is wrong?

Anderson,

There is no "automatic RESIZE" on buttonbmp, if the area reserved for displaying the button in your resource is not big enough, the buttonbmp will not show. Try to increase it.

This is not the problem.
The problem is that I am moving the bitmaps from resource to dll.
