and there can't be a 'name' of a graphic? That would solve the problems! I thought I tried this once and it worked. sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca. USA - mixstream.org On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 9:59 AM Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > As an added tec

Re: button ICON

As an added technique, if you have a single folder containing all your images, and your buttons already point to the image file for reference, you can "skin" your applications by simply swapping out the image folder with a different set of images with the same names, then reloading your stack.

Re: button ICON

Hi Klaus, The only method I can think of is where you set the icon of a button to the id of an image object, and then set the text of that image object to the binfile url of different image files. That does work, but may not be what you're looking for. Best - Phil Davis On 4/20/19 9:36 AM,

I was responding to Tom Glod's question, "why do u need to use images without loading them into the stack?" This technique can be used to make buttons with graphics portable, which is the root of the question. Bob S > On Apr 22, 2019, at 08:30 , Klaus major-k via use-livecode > wrote: > > H

Re: button ICON

I guess this goes way back to a long standing conversation as to the way buttons with graphics work in the first place. Let's say you have a group with several buttons. You now want to copy it to another project. Since the graphics are ALREADY OPEN in the project you copied from the button graph

Re: button ICON

Klaus, I vaguely remember someone recently pointing out a weird trick with button icons .. but i think it had to do with svgs being used as button icons. but maybe it really was a dream. why do u need to use images without loading them into the stack? On Sun, Apr 21, 2019 at 4:08 PM Kla

Re: Button Icon IDs

I had been playing around with other ways to do this until I got this solution and came across what may be a bug. After setting the icon of the button, I set the height and width of the button to its formattedHeight and formattedWidth. Sometimes that worked correctly and sometimes it didn't. I h

Hi Jacque, Unfortunately, all I have is the button's icon ID so I don;t know where the the image is. But it sounds like Monte has the answer. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin

Re: Button Icon IDs

Use the resolve command. I implemented this to do exactly what you want: get the long id of the image that is used on an icon on a given button. You have to specify the button because that's what the icon is resolved relative to. It uses the same code the engine does to find the icon btw. Cheer
