Bugs with iconization via caption[fixed]

[bdeshi]

1:
you know we can change tab icons with "title|icon" using Rename Tab? But a search tabs' icons do not change in this way without a restart or "Refresh cache".

2:
for CTB and subscript/popup menu title, we can reference specific icon from a source file like this:

Code: Select all

"CTB or menu title|%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\shell32.dll /163"

This will take the 163rd icon from shell32.dll
but this method doesn't work anywhere else (CFI, catalog, UDC, tabtitles ...)
Will this be solved? meanwhile is there a workaround?
I tried shell32.dll;163/shell32.dll,163/shell32.dl#163 ... none worked.

I can foresee Don's answer: "I have never said it is supported anywhere else."

In the past I also made this "mistake". I expected that a new feature would work everywhere. But sometimes they work only locally.

1. Yo, fixed.
2. I have never said it is supported anywhere else.

1. Thanks!
2. Totally unacceptable, I won't accept it, mutiny!!!!!

An icon specified in the caption (Rename Tab) is now resolved
relative to the Icons Path (default: <xydata>\Icons). Before, it's been
resolved to the app path

Apparently this bug still exists with catalog caption icons.

Also I didn't know it's possible to skip <xyicons> from icon path. However this doesn't seem to work with UDC icons.

Yes, well spotted. I will make them all behave the same.

Hi'
I'll jump on the bandwagon…

#1. has been fixed for standard "rename", but it's still for tab("rename"…).
With a "fresh" XY, doing e.g. tab("rename", "|:back") on a Search tab will only show the correct icon after tab-switching two times.
(This was introduced between v13 and v13.50 if I remember correctly —I could investigate if needs be).

[admin]

Yep, well spotted!

Thanks, working great again now!

(Hehe, another one coming from my undisclosed mystery list of and that's been nearly auto-resolved…)
