Check of bitmap is defined in RC-file

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

Is there a way to check if an bitmap defined in the RC-file

Code: Select all  Expand view

TRUCK   BITMAP _Buttons\truck.bmp
TRUCK2  BITMAP _Buttons\truck2.bmp

If for example TRUCK2 is defined i want to use that BITMAP, otherwise I use TRUCK.

Thanks,
Marc

Marc,

This the way to define bitmaps at RC files:

Code: Select all  Expand view

ANY_IMAGE_I   BITMAP "..\\folder\\image_1.bmp"
ANY_IMAGE_II  BITMAP "..\\folder\\image_2.bmp"


There is a function for load these bitmaps:

Code: Select all  Expand view

loadBitmap( , "ANY_IMAGE_I" )

I think, if this function returns nothing... this is because the resource named ANY_IMAGE_I not exists into RC file...

Thanks Júlio César,

If I call

Code: Select all  Expand view

loadBitmap( GetResources(), "TRUCK" )

The function returns '0' if it doesn't exist.

Marc,

Thats a valid solution. Another way is to use FindResource():

FindResource( GetResources(), "TRUCK", 2 ) != 0

2 means that it is a bitmap

FiveWin uses it in source\classes\menu.prg

Very more clean!
