How to get the bitmaps in a pulldown menu

[MarcoW]

Hi there,

 

Just wondering how it is done, and I mean without the interference of the customisation tool.

 

How do I get those bitmaps in my custom made menu?

 

Piece of code I use in my menu below, is it done in there somewhere? Any links will do, I can't seem to find them myself

 

***menugroup=cars

 

***POP1

 

[CARS]

 

[Car 1]^C^Ccommand;

[Car 2]^C^Ccommand;

[--]

[Car10]^C^Ccommand;

 

 

***image

 

***accelerators

 

***helpstrings

Sometimes, Marco, if you can't find the bitmap images you want by searching the application’s directories, you have to use the "brute force" method. See the attached image.

 

I confess to being a button guy, because my keyboard cannot spell. Usually I make my own, but when one exists somewhere that I want to use, I "borrow" it. For example: Because I do a lot of filtering, I lifted the "Filter By Selection" icon (second from the left) from Microsoft Access. I got it by opening an Access file and taking a screenshot of the program, then using an image editor, cropped down to the button at 16x16 pixels, and saved it as a .bmp file. MS Paint will work just fine for this. Save it to your custom button bitmap directory, then visit the customize interface to assign the bitmap to a command or macro.
