I have some code that uses the GDIPlusX system.app
I also have a project that creates a .exe

The code works great if the files are run not inside of a .exe by simpy saying

Do "system.app"
....

My problem is when it is included in the project - it says that the file system.app is missing. (The file was added to the project under the application section).

My file using system.app simply does this........

DO "system.app"

WITH _SCREEN.SYSTEM.drawing
........
ENDWITH

What am I missing to be able to make this call occur from the .app when running the .exe created from the project?

 
You have to redistribute the system.app as seperate file.

The inclusion in your project just is an administrative thing, apps never are included in exe at compilation they remain seperate.

So the exe really is missing the system.app file. But there is no code change needed, if you put the app in the same dir as your exe. Otherwise of course add a path to DO system.app

Bye, Olaf.
 
That's what I was beginning to think since the .apps in the project didn't have the option to "include" them when you right click on the file.

Thanks for the quick response Olaf!!!
