It's a bit hidden, sorry for any confusion:  My original goal was to have it automagically attach the correct extension, but the standard Save As... dialog doesn't seem to do that  If a filename is typed without an extension, the .wbuc extension is automatically added. And apologies for the Dutch screen, I only have a Dutch XP virtual available.  |

Thanks for the continual improvements. Earlier, your tour de force had me trying to buy one of the iMo Monster 10-inch touch screens. At the time they were out of stock. Then I found a number of comments to the effect that they conflicted with the 'standard' video drivers that some users had. There seemed no way to tell except empirically, in one's own system. Given that there was a 15% (if I recall right) restocking fee, and that the thing had to be shipped from the U.S. to where I live, and the unspecified wait to fulfil orders, and slow response from the manufacturer to questions, that idea faded out. I'll take a look around next time I'm in the States. The last time I was there none of the computer/electronics stores had even heard of the thing. I'll see if I can defer a final decision by breaking something else in WB  |

Verified the following (in 0.9.1.1): Changed File/New to do nothing if Cancel was clicked on the Save File dialog
Improved File Selection (Open/Save) dialogs to include *.wbuc + *.ini and *.* selections and each choice separate
Fixed Drag&Drop ignored .ini files
Thanks! BTW, when I choose File->New, I see a preview that shows a button labelled "Test button". I don't suppose it's easy to have no button displayed, but still with some sort of blank preview... |

Yeah, at first I couldn't get it to behave with no buttons available, but I guess I should go for an empty (no buttons) window, instead of a non-functional button. I'll see what goes best. I'll see if I can defer a final decision by breaking something else in WB  Both of you, thanks for the heads up  |

XP SP3 WB 3.3.0.0 WBE 0.9.1.1 Using image specified in .wbuc file with .ico file in same directory as WB and WBE exes, the image of the .ico is displayed in preview of WBE, but not when using .wbuc file from WB. Formatted for INI with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] [Settings] left=-1 top=-1 closebutton=1 border=1 taskbar=1 vertical=1 [Buttons] button1=New Button 1 command1=-sub -? caption1=New Button 1 image1=Video2MP3.ico
On a related note, noticed that image of .ico doesn't appear to get scaled appropriately. Specific case was .ico extracted from Video2MP3.exe -- 128x128 button size shows whole image, but smaller sizes tried (e.g. 48x48) show a portion of the image. Would be nice if scaling worked  Also, any chance of supporting specification of icon from .exe? |

Did you place the .ico file to the same directory as where the .wbuc file is? 128x128 button size shows whole image, but smaller sizes tried (e.g. 48x48) show a portion of the image. Would be nice if scaling worked
I'll check that out Also, any chance of supporting specification of icon from .exe?
Ah, a feature request , I'll investigate. |

Did you place the .ico file to the same directory as where the .wbuc file is? Sorry if this was unclear. WB, WBE, the .wbuc file, and the .ico file all live in the same directory. Is that clearer? Good luck with your investigation regarding the scaling and thanks for considering the exe / icon feature request |

I tried to solve a few issues reported by ewemoa, and also implemented his feature request: - Showing an icon in WBE preview but not when running WB: Undetermined, the same code is 'included' for both exe's. Was the .wbuc/.ini file saved?
- Would be nice if scaling worked: Scaling is not directly supported for button-images, investigation continues
- any chance of supporting specification of icon from .exe?: Implemented in this release
So today I bring to you WinButtons 3.3.1 and WinButtonEdit 0.9.2.3 (RC9) The What's new for WinButtons can be found on the original release postWinButtonEdit Change history since the previous release (RC8): Formatted for Text with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] 2011-07-02, v0.9.2.3 (RC9) + Added support for Environment and macro expansion when using images, so @SystemDir@\shell32.dll,-121 + Added automatic translation between directories available through @ macros when selecting an image file, examples: @WindowsDir@, @SystemDir@, etc. 2011-07-01, v0.9.2.2 (RC9) (not released) * Improved Image selection dialog for .exe/.dll/.ocx/.icl support and updated relevant routines + Added Icon selection dialog during Image selection, if .exe/.dll/.ocx/.icl file is opened ! Changed all File selection dialogs to return to the original directory after use ! Changed when selecting a button in the sample display, return focus to WBE 2011-06-30, v0.9.2.1 (RC9) (not released) * Improved adding icons from exe and dll support, searching for larger display of icons 2011-06-27, v0.9.2.0 (RC9) (not released) + Added support for icons from exe and dll files, and also support for an icon index into the file (requested by ewemoa) * Changed Added *.exe and *.dll to image selection dialog
The download is as usual available from the original release post, WinButtonEdit.exe and readme is included in the zipfile with WinButtons.exe, that also has it's sourcecode and updated readme. Feedback is, as always, welcome |

I didn't reproduce the issue with the latest version -- I admit it's possible there was some pilot error originally Would be nice if scaling worked: Scaling is not directly supported for button-images, investigation continues
Thanks for your continued efforts, and good luck! any chance of supporting specification of icon from .exe?: Implemented in this release I have good news and bad news... The good news is that it seemed to work for the likes of shell32.dll. Hurray The bad news is that it didn't seem to work for Video2MP3.exe. I was able to bring up the icon selection dialog for Video2MP3.exe, saw the desired icon, clicked on the select button, but didn't end up seeing the icon in the preview (just blank). I clicked on the Apply button, saved, and restarted WBE, but no change. Also tried WB but still saw a blank button. Also tested by specifying via the file WinButtons.exe as a source of icons with similar unsuccessful results. Sample .wbuc file content that appears to reproduce the issue is below. Formatted for INI with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] [Settings] left=-1 top=-1 closebutton=1 border=1 taskbar=1 vertical=1 [Buttons] button1=New Button 1 command1=-sub -? caption1=New Button 1 image1=WinButtons.exe,-1
In the image1= line, tried changing -1 to 1 and subsequently did see an icon, btw. Using WBE's .exe as a source of icons, icons show up in the preview when specifying -4, -3, 0, 1 but not for -1. The icons that shows up for 0 and 1 look similar, FWIW. XP SP3 WB 3.3.1.2 WBE 0.9.2.3 |

It was indeed quite some black magic to me. That's one of the reasons it took a few days, had a lot of issues with the positive and negative indexes. AFAICS, that's some sort of 'feature' of the linker that puts the icons into the exe, I don't know how it can be influenced. (don't have much experience in this field). Probably creating a .rc file with the correct indexes, and resource-compiling that is the way to go for compilers supporting that... AutoIt doesn't, AFAICS. During the selection of the Icon, there's a button to the right/top of the dialog to switch 'by Name'/'by Ordinal'. Does switching that help? Most of the time, index 0 displays the default icon of an exe, so if you omit the index WB applies 0 by default. The bad news is that it didn't seem to work for Video2MP3.exe.
Can you point me where to get that, or PM me the file zipped so I can test/check that exe myself? TIA Oh, and the -2 icon in WBE.exe is a blanc image, FWIW, it shows up in the icon browser, and using WinButtonEdit.ico (not supplied with the download) reveals a much larger view with index -7 (icon attached here, index needs to be typed manually), I couldn't get the larger icons of WinButtons.ico in view though. |

Yes! This seems much better -- worked with Video2MP3.exe and WinButtons.exe. Perhaps 'by Ordinal' isn't a bad default Most of the time, index 0 displays the default icon of an exe, so if you omit the index WB applies 0 by default.
Thanks for the info. Regarding Video2MP3, I get it via: http://skwire.dcmembers.com/wb/pages/software/video-2-mp3.phpFWIW, when I use NirSoft's IconExtract, I see 5 sizes for the icon extractable from Video2MP3.exe (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, and 128x128). In WBE / WB I end up seeing one of the smaller ones displayed as near as I can tell. |

FWIW, when I use NirSoft's IconExtract, I see 5 sizes for the icon extractable from Video2MP3.exe (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, and 128x128). In WBE / WB I end up seeing one of the smaller ones displayed as near as I can tell.
I can see them too (thanks for the link ), but I've been unable to select a specific icon-image from an icon embedded in an exe without extracting it from the file. Guess the best solution is give instructions how to link to NirSoft's IconsExtract, extract the icon using it, and address the desired icon from the .ico file using the index displayed by IconsExtract (while the .ico is still in the exe) (sorry if this sounds a bit cryptic ) As said earlier, AutoIt hasn't provided me with a clue (yet) on how to specify the order/index of the icon-images included, and I probably need to add all icons as separate ico files (if that is even possible) to be able to address them individually. But most exe's have combined icons and use the embedded resource traversing routines to display the desired icon size. Haven't decided how to proceed from here. In the meantime I've been able to add (optional) scaling to normal .bmp images, so it sizes to the button width and height, I'll release that probably tomorrow-night. (today I'm a bit short on time). |

BTW, I'm not quite sure what the conditions are that reproduce the issue, but it happens that under some circumstances, there is a fair bit of blank space to the right of the buttons:  May be it also depends on the icons referenced, but the button width and height may be related: Formatted for INI with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] buttonwidth=32 buttonheight=32

That's because you have 'Vertical Display' checked. |

Hmm...Perhaps there's something in the docs somewhere about this. Any pointers? I didn't turn up anything.
FWIW, when I uncheck "Vertical display", though there is less, there is still space to the right of the right-most icon. May be this is also expected too...
Confused.

The combination of 'Show Window Border' and 'Show in Taskbar' is kinda 'the culprit', as it then shows a full-size Close button and a System menu. If you could either turn off 'Show in Taskbar', or turn off 'Show Window Border' and turn on 'Allow Window movable', you can still move the WinButtons Window around, and have the Window fit rather snugly around the buttons. Just a bit of experimenting involved I must say I slightly prefer the 'Show Window Border' version, over then the w/o border version. With 32x32px buttons the Window is quite small, and hard to hit, even with a mouse. |

Ah, I have tried various options and see. Thanks for the explanation. Turning off "Show in Taskbar" seems like a doable work-around in this case. Thanks. |

Tried to work around the .ico issues/wishes reported by ewemoa, but because of the load of work involved that's already done by NirSoft's IconsExtract, I settled for a reference to that utility in the readme While going in that direction, I was able to add an optional scaling feature for the display of .bmp images on a button, it can resize to the actual button size if the image path/filename is prefixed with a dash (like '-flower.bmp', no quotes). This isn't a big release but the versions got to go up, so here we go: WinButtons 3.3.2 and WinButtonEdit 0.9.3.0 (RC10) are now available from the original release post. The only extra is the WinButtonEdit.ico added to the zip-file, for those that might like it  Bugreports and/or feature requests still welcome |

I see version 3.3.1.2 via the Version tab of WinButtons.exe Properties. Ah, I see what happened, after updating the version info I didn't hit the compile button , but the new feature(s) should be there, as it was compiled just before that. I won't be able to update before I get home though, I'll bump the version to 3.3.2.1 then. |
