Resources UDF

[goldenix]

You must run all examples only in compiled form (compiled EXE file) and no directly by Run from Scite.

I think it's your case.

Thats the first thing I tried to do, & same goes for beta compile but @ScriptDir & "\binary_data.dat" file was not created, this is why I asked.

As Larry said: Use the same resource identifier (TEST_BMP_1) in Auto3Wrapper directive and also later in  script.

Also try my example without any modifications first.

I compile your samples witout modifications: resource_test.au3 & all i see is empty GUI, no extra files are being created. same goes for resource_test_ie.au3

I compile & run this & again nothing happens:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=image1.bmp, bitmap, TEST_BMP_1 ; Filename,Section,ResName
#include "resources.au3"
 ; save binary data from resource to file
_ResourceSaveToFile(@ScriptDir & "\binary_data.dat", "TEST_BMP_1")

Save to file is RC_DATA ... you may need to research the underlying functions and change RC_DATA to RC_BITMAP

okkey I got the examples to work, ( after i restarted my pc... )

yet why isnt this working? Shuldnt this create the dat file?

From my first post:

Notes:

* to compile all script examples must be apropriate resource data files in script directory (from resource_data.zip)

--> in your case unpack all files from resource_data.zip to your script directory

READ ALL NOTES in my first post:

Notes:

* _ResourceSaveToFile() don't work with $RT_BITMAP type for now

For save bitmaps use FileInstall() - look into helpfile for details about using it

Also #AutoIt3Wrapper directive must be used way as it is supposed to be used.

aha in this case the wrapper thingie cant help me, nor can fileinstall, since i cant use variables.

Thank you for your time.

this is creativity,

well waiting for Button and other GuiCtrls support

thanks I really needed this solution

Thanks.

Unfortunatelly my free time for larger projects is very limited now

so I will welcome anybody's help/ideas on this my unfinished/limited UDF.

I've never tried to do such huge coding before,

I'm not afraid or anything , just kidding

I'll study your UDF after a couple of days I guess if the time allows,

maybe I can get the idea !!!

see ya

OK.

Also look at this my Post #34

very very nice project. I have been looking for this kind of thing since i started coding in AI

[grham]

got it!

After having to understand that the res files hade to be in the temp dir

(your exemple - post 1 unchanged),

==> with:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add="%scriptdir%\ etc.

the resources can be in the script dir.

It's a very good work!

Thank you Zedna.

Exellent work !!!

This UDF is just what I've been looking for ever since I began to use Autoit.

Thanks to all for compliments!!

Just a remark i think there is an error in the example file "test_1.htm":

This is not error. It's intended: test_gif_1 is resource name of GIF image inside EXE file directly linked from HTML (HTML is also in EXE as resource).

Zedna, I believe the information you are looking for about jpeg, png, gif and other images can be gleaned from this page:

Thanks for link.

I saw such similar solutions when I started my first experiments

but I think there is BIG problem with:

IPicture *pic
...
OleLoadPicture(pStream, 0, FALSE,IID_IPicture, (void **)&pic);
...
pic->get_Width(cx);
  pic->get_Height(cy);

It's object oriented syntax, IPicture is object (or class?) and this isn't supported in AutoIt.

That's why I tried to use GDI+ instead. See my post #34 I have the same code up to CreateStreamOnHGlobal() call

I think my GDI+ concept could be fine if I can put correct DllCall syntax for these API functions:

CreateStreamOnHGlobal
GdipLoadImageFromStream
_GDIP_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap

in my post #34. I have played with it quickly but no success. Note: Code in post #34 is in old A3L syntax there

EDIT: I will be offline this week so don't worry if I will not reply to future posts immediatelly

I received this problem report:

the current version AutoIt3Wrapper.exe V 1.10.1.4,

date: 13-2-2008 doesn´t work with "resources.au3"

the gui is empty. :-( after compiling.

the old AutoIt3Wrapper.exe v.1.9.4.0, date 11.10.07 work

perfect with "resources.au3".

I will look at it.

[HyperVista]

Can you implement ResourceWrite, so that the .exe can update the resource data for the next time the .exe runs?
