ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello, I'm adding a couple of ico files to the compiled AutoIt application using #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add= Is there any way to access those icons? Could you tell me for example how to copy an embeded icon file to C:\test? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thank you for the reference, guinness, but I still don't understand how to copy an embeded icon to a specific folder based on the examples displayed on the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2012 ineedh3lp,You need to decide what you want to do: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Icon_Add puts the icons into the compiled exe resources and lets you use them from inside your script without having to save them to disk. The page to which guinness linked you shows you how to do that.If you want to copy the icon to another folder then you can simply use FileInstall and then use the saved icon as normal.You choose which way you want to go.

ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Here's what I want to do:The application I'm working on is designed to create a set of folders. What I want to do is copy some icon files to the created folders, but I don't want the application to copy the icon files from an external source, I want it to copy the embeded ones. So, I guess that my question is: can I export an embeded icon file?I see that FileInstall says that the source must be a literal string and it cannot be a variable or the result of a function call.

Xenobiologist Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 FileInstall ist what you need. The source is the path where your script finds the files during compile time. ineedh3lp 1 Scripts & functions Organize Includes Let Scite organize the include files Yahtzee The game "Yahtzee" (Kniffel, DiceLion) LoginWrapper Secure scripts by adding a query (authentication) _RunOnlyOnThis UDF Make sure that a script can only be executed on ...

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2012 ineedh3lp,Then FileInstall is all you need. The "literal string" as the source parameter is exactly that - you must use something like "C:FolderSubFolderName.ico", no variables or macors allowed. You can of course use them in the destination parameter.M23 ineedh3lp 1 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 I really don't want to bother you much, but I think I haven't made myself clear.So, I have a compiled AutoIt script. Let's call the application FolderGen.exeThis application has embeded multiple icon files: ico1.ico, ico2.ico, ico3.ico. So these files do no exist on the client's computer, they exist only in the already compiled script, FolderGen.exeNow, I need this application to be able to export the icon files that are embedded in it.From my understanding, FileInstall requires an external file and this is not what I want because the application must not be dependent on external files. Thus, my only guess is that I can achieve what I want only if I can export the embedded icon files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's not a matter of trust. It's just that I do not understand how it can help me. Would you be kind to give me a functional example? Like, how to actually use FileInstall to copy an embedded file to C:test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 FileInstall only needs the external files to exist when you compile the script, not when you run it. Once you run the script, any files that are FileInstalled are extracted to the location you specified in the FileInstall command in your script and are available for use by the script. If you don't want to extract the files onto the computer that's running the script, you'd use the information in the link that guiness posted. ineedh3lp 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2012 ineedh3lp, my suggestion would be - try it. Place your icon files at the root of C:, then use the line below: FileInstall("C:ico1.ico", "where you want them to go on the target machine", 1) ineedh3lp 1 "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

ineedh3lp Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yes, thank you! I was under the impression that FileInstall needs the source at run time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
