Using DLLs for Iconized Tabs

Post by Knighthammer »

Greetings,

I am trying to use icons from a DLL file for an icon on an iconized tab.

I found this thread that doesn't seem to work for this task:
viewtopic.php?t=8438

it suggests putting "/#" (e.g. /3) for the position of the icon in the DLL.

That doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts on the problem?

Gah, of course I think of the correct answer as soon as I post.

For documentation sake, apparently you need "s around the location even if there aren't spaces in the location.

E.G.

Program Files|"D:\Users\Common\Libraries\RootMenus.dll" /3

NVM, that actually just used the icon of the directory.

Any help would be appreciated (I promise, I am not spamming the thread!)

That isn't supported for tabs.

Whoa, really?

Gah, I was planning to shift a lot of my icon directories into libraries!

Now I need to step back and reconsider this, bah!

Thanks for the info.
