PictureResName and PictureResID

[Bas]

How do I use PictureResName and PictureResID?

Tried adding a BMP to the .res-file (the ID is 101):

Code: Select all

Call VP1.PictureResID(VRIGHT, VTOP, VFREE, VFREE, 0, 101, PIC_KEEPIMAGE)

And tried renaming the resource-ID with a string:

Code: Select all

Call VP1.PictureResName(VRIGHT, VTOP, VFREE, VFREE, 0, "TEST", PIC_KEEPIMAGE)

What is the correct way of using these functions?
Thanks in advance!

With what programming language are you working? This requires that your application is a compiled EXE with a standard EXE resource file format, so it is accessible by the WIN-API resource functions.

I use VB6.
When debugging the res-file has an .res extension.
When I compile I get one .exe-file, with the resource-file compiled into the .exe.

With Picture() I can load a picture from a path on the hard-drive.
I would like to compile those images into the .exe with a resource file.

We don't know the format of a compiled VB6 exe. With C++ it works. If it does not work with VB6, we can't do anything, since we use the WIN API.
