No icons in the buttons of the Preview

Hello,

In the preview of any report, generated by the TPrinter class, there are no icons in the buttons, although PREV32.DLL is in the same folder.

It doesn't happen all the time. On my systems with WIN XP Prof, I have no problem. On Windows Vista, the icons are invisible.

But I also have the same problem on some WIN XP systems of my costumers.

Does anyone know how this can be solved ?

Thanks.

Michel

Hello Guys,

Sorry, I found the reason for my problem.

I translated the PREV32.DLL to Dutch by using Resource Workshop.

Unfortunately, that isn't possible.

After having put back the original PREV32.DLL, the icons on the buttons reappeared.

But how can I translate PREV32.DLL to Dutch. My costumers don't like English in their software.

Thanks a lot.

Create a new RC or RES project, import prev32.dll, save and then link the RC or RES to your EXE.

Enrico,

And I need to adjust the RPREVIEW class since it is directed to PREV32.DLL, don't I ?

Thanks.

I'll try it out.

Yes, sorry. By the way, I just tried to change messages from prev32.dll and found it perfectly working.

I find that often when I edit a 32bit DLL with Workshop, it is damaged.

Enrico,
James,

I transferred PREV32.DLL to RC-file, compiled it to a RES-file and linked it in my application.

I changed RPREVIEW.PRG (get rid of GetResources(), "PREV32.DLL" ...) and linked it in my application, too.

Now, everything is working fine.

Thanks a lot for your help, guys.
