Resource UDF trouble...

[Vadersapien]

Hello all,

I'm using this resource UDF by Zedna, and am having trouble using it...

I have this code at the beginning of my file:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_useupx = n
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after = ResHacker.exe -add %out%, %out%, logo.bmp, bitmap, LOGO, 0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_after = upx.exe --best --compress-resources=0 "%out%"

And I add an image from as resource with this code:

$Logo = GUICtrlCreatePic('', 0, 0, 410, 50)
_ResourceSetImageToCtrl($Logo, 'LOGO')

I compile from scite, with ResHacker.exe in the same directory, but when I open the compiled exe there is no image...

I have also tried _SetBitmapToCtrl

Vadersapien,

The following code is lifted directly (other then the path information) from one of my scripts where it is working perfectly. I have found by experience that it is best to use the full path of ResHacker, the resource to be added and upx, even if they are all in the same folder as the script.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=Full_Path\ResHacker.exe -add %out%, %out%, Full_Path\Play.bmp, bitmap, PLAY, 0
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_After=Full_Path\upx.exe --best "%out%"

$Play_pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 10, 186, 16, 16)
_ResourceSetImageToCtrl($Play_pic, "PLAY", $RT_BITMAP)

As you can see, I do not use the "compress-resources" switch with upx so I cannot comment on whether that part of the syntax is correct - if I want to compress then I compress it all.

I hope this helps.

Edit: Slight correction to code

Tried your method...didn't work.

I also found neither ResHacker or UPX are starting...

[Zedna]

Try to run reshacker/upx by hand on your compiled EXE.

Also try unmodified examples from my Resource UDF topic and reread carefuly my whole first post there.

Got it to work by downloading the full version of Scite4AutoIt3 and using this code:

_ResourceSetImageToCtrl($Logo, 'LOGO', $RT_BITMAP)

Classic RTFM.
