Hello !

I'm trying xBuilder and found one problem . I'm using Hernan's browse and in some browses I'm using bitmaps from resources . This function allways return 0 and I can't to see bitmaps in columns . Also I tried with bitmaps from disk and ReadBitmap() function - this works OK . Maybe you know where can be problem of LoadBitmap() function ? Can this be problem of xBuilder resource compiler ?

With best regards ! Rimantas .

Rimantas,

Have you tried the same code with Borland ?

Also, once the EXE is built, open it with the resources workshop and check that the bitmaps are there.

I alreday wrote that with Borland that works fine , so I can't understand this "check with RW that the bitmaps are there" :-)) . It works fine with Borland , and bitmaps exist in my recourse file . I also reviewed that and with PellesC recourse manager . It has only one difference from Borlands - can't understand the main icon with zero in the front : 0MyMainIcon . I did the changes , delete zero from the main icon ( then disseapers icons from mdichilds , but that isn't important ) , it can be viewed in Borlands, PellesC recourses managers .

Rimantas,

You may use FindResource() function to check that the resource is available and accesible at runtime.

Thank Antonio , for advice ! I reviewed this function and have one question : FindResource( hResources, cResName, nResType ) . What to include into hResources ? 0 ?

Thanks , Enrico ! I tried the advice of Antonio , sorry , the results are bads - FindResource() return 0 .. :-(( . But ... PROBLEM SOLVED !!! :-)) Advice : DO NOT USE in resources files names with BEGINNING "R_" - R_MyBitmap1 . It come to my brains this idea , that it can be problem of names . I used 5 so named bitmaps and only they wasn't not visibles . So after renaming it all is working OK !

Anyway , thanks for help ! With best regards ! Rimantas .
