Buttons in resource file

[Stefan Mohr]

Hi all, got a probably simple but (to me) unintuitive problem with graphical buttons..   I’m drawing buttons on a form which are specified in resources.RCP. At one point the original author was using PilRC but stopped because of some annoyances and instead coded it all by hand – I’m now no longer able to open the resource file in PilRC so I’m stuck coding by hand in CodeWarrior.   I declare a button like this: BUTTON "" ID myButton AT ( 1 1 32 32 ) NONUSABLE NOFRAME BITMAPID thisButton SELECTEDBITMAPID thisButtonInverted GRAPHICAL     The devices and sims I’m using are all hi-res colour, so the 64x64 pixel bitmaps are being scaled to 32x32... That much is fine. My problem is that the image isn’t being centered – it actually begins several pixels to the right and below the (0,0) coordinate I expect it at. Since I specify the area is 32x32 pixels, it means the bottom right sector of the image is getting cropped.   I can increase the size to something like 50x50 and it all shows up, but then I’m wasting lots of space that I’d like to use for something else.   I did notice that when I removed “SELECTEDBITMAP” from the declaration, when I tap (and hold) the button, it draws a highlighted border around the button which fills all of the “wasted” area – I suspect even with an inverted version of the bitmap it is still insisting on using the surrounding area.   Any GUI wizards have any thoughts?   Thanks, Stefan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
