Greetings, Mappers of the World
I want a toolbar button to feature a "bus stop" symbol. My system uses
the "London Transport"-like symbol of a horizontal line through a circle
(like the Tube).
I have my own, bespoke .ICO for this.
I notice that this is available as the 33rd symbol of the "MapInfo
Transportation" font. But, in the ICONS.DEF file, the definitions only
go up to:
MI_ICON_TRANSPORT_27 (i.e. only 27 of them, strangely enough)
Now the code to generate the button requires an integer "Button_ID", as
in:
.
{ PushButton | ToggleButton | ToolButton }
Calling { procedure | menu_code | OLE methodname | DDE
server , topic }
[ ID button_id ]
[ Icon n [ File file_spec ] ]
.
So I assume, effectively, I can't specify the icon I want.
Help further states:
".If the File sub-clause specifies the name of a file containing icon
resources, n is an Integer resource ID identifying a resource in the
file."
Whatever THAT means!!
When I label my Bus Stops, on the map, with this symbol, the following
MB code is generated:
Set Map Layer 1 Display Global Global Symbol (64,16711680,12,"MapInfo
Transportation",0,0), so that's no problem.
Can anyone tell me how I might be able to have my chosen icon on the
button. (and, while I'm at it, I can't find any equivalent of the
Windows standard button icons for Edit)?
TIA
Terry
