problem using LoadGraphicFile

[unwired]

Hi

i want to change the cursor associated with a hotspot.
i tried this example :

Code: Select all

Similar to the Action.LoadAPicture command, but for more advanced users. It loads a graphic file from the "Areas" sub-folder of the project folder into a property. For example, to change the cursor that is associated with the hotspot number 5, you should type:

   Hotspot(5).MouseIcon = LoadGraphicFile("FILENAME")
   Hotspot(5).MousePointer = 99

where FILENAME is the name of the graphic file, located inside the "Hotspot Graphic Files" sub-folder of the "Project Resources", which corresponds to the directory "c:\...\PROJECTNAME\Areas". The supported graphic types are: BMP, JPG, GIF (not animated), WMF, EMF, ICO and CUR. Replace FILENAME with an empty string to unload the picture.

if i try :

Code: Select all

Hotspot(2).MouseIcon=Action.LoadGraphicFile("mypointer.ico")

AM error is "object action required"

if i try

Code: Select all

Hotspot(2).MouseIcon=LoadGraphicFile("mypointer.ico")

AM error is : typeMismatch "LoadGraphicFile"

(mypointer.ico is in project's areas folder.

help !

Hi,

I have just made the following test:
- I have created an empty hotspot
- I have copied the file "Key1.ico" (which you will find in the "Tutorial Graphics" folder) to the "Areas" folder (aka "Hotspot Graphic Files").
- I have executed the following code:

Code: Select all

Hotspot(1).MouseIcon=Action.LoadGraphicFile("Key1.ico")
Hotspot(1).MousePointer=99


The code works just fine on my computer.

Perhaps the problem is due to the ico file you use not being a valid icon. Could you please test with the file Key1.ico too?

Thanks,

Best regards,
