Adding images to TComboBox / TTabControl

[801119]

Hey all..!!

I know it's possible, and I find example codes in 'BCB help'!! But it doesn't work!! the code follows:
It adds everything but the graphic..!? Why?
Is it beacuse of my version? (BCB 3 Standard)

{
static char * Drive_Letter[]={"a:\\","b:\\","c:\\","d:\\","e:\\","f:\\",
"g:\\","h:\\","i:\\","j:\\","k:\\","l:\\","m:\\","n:\\","o:\\","p:\\",
"q:\\","r:\\","s:\\","t:\\","u:\\","v:\\","w:\\","x:\\","y:\\","z:\\"};

int AddedIndex;
for(int x =0; x <= 25; x++ )
{
switch(GetDriveType(Drive_Letter[x]))
{
case DRIVE_REMOVABLE:
AddedIndex=DriveTabSet->Tabs->AddObject(String(Drive_Letter[x]),
Floppy->Picture->Graphic);
break;
case DRIVE_FIXED:
AddedIndex=DriveTabSet->Tabs->AddObject(String(Drive_Letter[x]),
Fixed->Picture->Graphic);
break;
case DRIVE_REMOTE:
AddedIndex=DriveTabSet->Tabs->AddObject(String(Drive_Letter[x]),
Network->Picture->Graphic);
break;
case DRIVE_CDROM:
AddedIndex=DriveTabSet->Tabs->AddObject(Drive_Letter[x],
Floppy->Picture->Graphic);
break;
case DRIVE_RAMDISK:
AddedIndex=DriveTabSet->Tabs->AddObject(Drive_Letter[x],
Floppy->Picture->Graphic);
break;
}
}

Greetings!

If you want use TTabControl instead. It have the property you need, the Images is pointer to image list that may contains all needed pictures for any drive type.

Yes, I would really appreciate it!
The problem is that I've tried this code on a TTabContrl, also! But didn't work!

If you got any idee how to make it work, I'll listen!! Martin G Broman

Greetings!

This sample of my code!

static char * Drive_Letter[]={&quot;a:\\&quot;,&quot;b:\\&quot;,&quot;c:\\&quot;,&quot;d:\\&quot;,&quot;e:\\&quot;,&quot;f:\\&quot;,
&quot;g:\\&quot;,&quot;h:\\&quot;,&quot;i:\\&quot;,&quot;j:\\&quot;,&quot;k:\\&quot;,&quot;l:\\&quot;,&quot;m:\\&quot;,&quot;n:\\&quot;,&quot;o:\\&quot;,&quot;p:\\&quot;,
&quot;q:\\&quot;,&quot;r:\\&quot;,&quot;s:\\&quot;,&quot;t:\\&quot;,&quot;u:\\&quot;,&quot;v:\\&quot;,&quot;w:\\&quot;,&quot;x:\\&quot;,&quot;y:\\&quot;,&quot;z:\\&quot;};

UINT dr;

for(int i = 0; i < 26; i++)
{
dr = GetDriveType(Drive_Letter);
if(!dr || dr == 1)
continue;
DriveTabControl->Tabs->Add(Drive_Letter);
switch(dr)
{
case DRIVE_REMOVABLE:
DriveTabControl->Images->Add(FlopBmp,NULL);
break;
case DRIVE_FIXED:
DriveTabControl->Images->Add(HardBmp,NULL);
break;
case DRIVE_REMOTE:
DriveTabControl->Images->Add(NetBmp,NULL);
break;
case DRIVE_CDROM:
DriveTabControl->Images->Add(CDBmp,NULL);
break;
case DRIVE_RAMDISK:
DriveTabControl->Images->Add(RamBmp,NULL);
break;
}
}

Where FlopBmp is TBitmap with preloaded picture of floppy drive, HardBmp is one with picture of hard drive, and so on.

If you need only existing drives, you should use GetLogicalDriveStrings function, which return pointer to string (type of char *) of existing drive letters.

I tried your code, but was unable to make it work!

I got this error message:
'Images' is not a member of 'Comctrl::TTabControl'

Got any idea what it means? Martin G Broman
