Icon index not supported in inputselect()?

[highend]

Code: Select all

    $items = <<<>>>
1||:nuke
2||%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /10
3||<xyicons>\Apple.ico
    >>>;
    $sel = inputselect("Select...", $items, <crlf>, 1+2+32+1024+8192, 11:="|");

If I remove " /10" the icon from shell32.dll itself is shown

If done with popupmenu() it works fine with the index:

Code: Select all

    $items = <<<>>>
1||:nuke
2||%winsysdir%\shell32.dll /10
3||<xyicons>\Apple.ico
    >>>;
    $sel = popupmenu($items, 6:=<crlf>, 7:="|");

I don't see any claim in the help that says this would work. That makes it a wish.

[highend]

The help entry for popupmenu() doesn't mention explicitly that it supports the /<index> way for icons neither...

Consistency^^

When I find the time^^

Since on this subject, a similar wish, if not too much hassle, could the icon params of SC inputselect/input also support the index, ie

Code: Select all

$i = "<xy> /4"; inputselect(" ", 4:=1, 9:=$i); input(8:=$i);

Apparently I could make it work without too much hassle, did not thoroughly test though (too much hassle). Hence no mention in change log. Try next beta.

PS: The next beta will be more tolerant about the number of spaces in <xy> /4. Also <xy> /4 will work.

Thanks for adding it, that's great,

...but I just tested it and it seems to be using maybe the 16x16 icon and scaling up.

[admin]

What icon display size are you expecting in your context?

[jupe]

Well if you use an exe without index it uses what looks to be the normal 32x32 icon, but usually like if you use internal toolbar buttons they are 24x24 @ 100%.

[admin]

Ah yes. Will be better in the next beta.

[highend]

Any reason why the changes didn't make it into the current x32 version?

[admin]

Well, it's time to leave it behind. Can't do everything twice forever.
