Thanks Jeremy. Nice, clean and mostly straight-through :) See Brian, I told you someone more experienced with the bitmap module would be able to provide a simple-ish way to do it. We're here to help :) Jason P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On

[perl-win32-gui-users] A slightly OT question, how to create an icon on the fly

2006-02-22 Thread Brian Millham
Hi all, I'd like to be able to have an icon (displayed in the system tray) that is created On the fly. Something like the W2K/XP task manager icon, but with text indicating the percentage overlaid. I know that I could do this by creating 100 discrete icons, but what a pain this would be.

Remember, you're using perl. Technically speaking *anything* can be done :p I'm sure one of the more accustomed BitmapInline people can set you up. Either by creating the image or by loading the icon from a file, this can be done. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
