Logo on form 1

[button71]

I have a manually coded form on which I wish to place an icon.

I have used

ADD OBJECT  img as image WITH ;
Top = 40, ;
Left = 70, ;
Height = 60, ;
Width = 60, ;
Picture = full development path to logo file,;
Name = "img"

It works OK in the dev environment but on other machines in which I have the logo file in the program folder I get the img placeholder.

How do I reference the logo file in the code?

Installation folder is variable for a user.

Regards

Bryan

In your code, don't refer to the full path of the logo file. Just set the Picture property to the basic filename.

When you build the project, be sure that the logo file has been added to the project and not flagged as excluded. That way, the file will be bound into the EXE, and the application will always find it.

Mike,

In looking at the Other Tab in the Project I see the two logo and icon files I have used in the project already there.

I recompiled the form.prg and Built an exe.

I deleted the image files from the runtime project folder.

When the app runs the icon shows on the Title Bar but the logo still shows as missing X.

I'm using VFP6 - does that make a difference?

What else can I try please

Regards

William

William,

Did you remember to change your code, to remove the path from the "Picture = " line?

Also, are sure the image is properly included in the project? When you look at the image in the project window (on the Other tab), there should not be an "exclude" icon against it; this is a little circle with a diagonal line inside it).

Mike

As you say the logo appears as icon in the titlebar, I assume you use an .ico file. AFAIR VFP6 Image Control does not support ico files.

Bye, Olaf.
