Icons in *.mnu

[sharpooth]

Hello to all,

Can any help me to put icons (bmp) in pulldown menu in mnu file?

 

I can "attach" icons (bmp) for toolbars. The code is as follow:

 

**Toolbar3
[_Toolbar("toolbar3", _Floating, _Hide, 310, 265, 1)]
ID_AS [_Button("Describe", "AS16.BMP", "AS24.BMP")]^C^CAS

 

Here the attached bmps are as16.bmp and as24.bmp. Autocad is converting to cui file prefectly.

 

On the attached file see just icons on pulldown menu.

 

Thanks!

Try adding them through the CUI instead of the MNU file

 

if im thinking correctly then the MNU file is the older way of doing it and the way i learned to do it, both do the same thing but the CUI is easier to use for most people, no coding involved

 

feel free to correct me if im wrong though

Hi Migs,

The CUI file is compiling by autocad. In Cui file the icons are described as follow:

 

Catalog
^C^CCatalog 
Catalog
 
 
[\code]
 
On row  , Aurocad put full path to the bmp, and in most cases this path is very different!!!
For instance:
and so on......

I still love the *.mnu approach.

 

What you need to do is create a toolbar with exactly the same macro as in the pulldownmenu.

The icon used in the toolbar is shown in the pulldownmenu also. I dunno if you still need the help but I could try to help you...

Hi NhocCuteGirlUK,

In *.mnu you cad add bmps in pulldownmenu if you are created toolbars whit bmps!

Yes, *.mnu is older way than *.cui to upload a menu in autocad.
