CMud Button Images
|
Apologies if this is answered somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a way to use custom images from my hardrive as the images for my buttons?

Don't think so, but one of the Guru's may know a way.

Good Question!
edit
I'm Sure that you used to be able to browse to the image location by clicking that button beside the box. 
It appears that it was changed so that when you share a package you have to realize that it is located elsewhere...
Anyway you can put any bitmap image you like into the spot on the options tab that says Image Name.
I'm on XP and I just used C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\Bliss.bmp as my image and it worked.
I just tried a jpg file before that though and Cmud Thew an error. |

In CMUD, there's no browse button, but you can type in the path to a local image if you want. Just remember, as Arminas was getting to, that if you share your package afterwards, it might stop working.
I seem to remember using images I made myself for it - try .gif and .png as well if .jpg doesn't work for you. Jpgs are bad for simple things like buttons anyway. |

It would be nice if in the future CMUD allowed one to save small images as a package level resource encoded in Base64.
That could then be referred to by other elements using a resource moniker.
Allowing small custom images to be distributed with packages. |

It's been asked before (though more generally allowing any image), so it's probably on the wishlist.

Yes.
Just place the images you want to use (must use bitmaps only) in the main CMUD directory.
Example:
C:\Program Files\CMUD\conan.bmp
Then all you have to enter in the button options for Image Name is conan.bmp. |

You can script the writing of custom images (or any other file) to disk, then refer to them in the rest of your scripts.
Maybe use the OnLoad event to see if the files already exist and if not create them. |
