[wxlua-users] Set the icon for the frame

From: Ryan P. <rpu...@gm...> - 2007-01-22 14:58:31

I can't seem to set the icon for the frame in wxLua. I really want to do
this when it is frozen with wxluafreeze. But I can't seem to get the
SetIcon() to work at all. A small example would be great. Thanks

(I don't know whether it is different for wxluafreeze but,)

I'm using like:

     local bitmap = GetImage("dsbw")
     local icon = wx.wxDefaultIcon()
     icon:CopyFromBitmap(bitmap)
     app.frame:SetIcon(icon)
     bitmap:Delete()
     icon:Delete()

Taken from wxLua's samples

This was close, but I still can't get the frame icon to change. I can use
the bitmap created by the code above in a wxBitmapButton, but nothing
happens to the frame icon. I also tried to wxLua smaples that set the frames
icon and they didn't work either. The samples are wxluasudoku.wx.lua and
calculator.wx.lua.

Could it be a size/image/etc. problem?
My "dsbw" icon is a xpm file generated
from a real icon.

Related code follows:

local dsbw_xpm = {
"32 32 12 1",
" 	c None",
".	c Blue",
"X	c DarkSlateGray",
"o	c Yellow",
"O	c Red",
"+	c Gray60",
"@	c #999900",
"#	c Gray100",
"$	c Cyan",
"%	c #990099",
"&	c Gray80",
"*	c Green",
"              .                 ",
"            XX X.               ",
"          XX     X              ",
"        XX  o     .             ",
"      XX O     +   X            ",
"    XX  O@O   +#+   .           ",
"  XX   O@o@O   +     X          ",
" XX   O@o#o@O     .   .         ",
" X X   O@o@O     .$.   X        ",
" X  X   O@O     .$#$.   .       ",
" X   X   O   O   .$.    XX      ",

"               XX&#X.           ",
"                XX.             "}


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
function GetImage(name)
     if name == "dsbw" then
         return wx.wxBitmapFromXPMData(dsbw_xpm)

         error("unknown image name")

Well thanks I found it was the size of my xmp. I made it 32x32 and BAM it
worked.

I am really enjoying my wxLua experiance. It is fun to write a little script
and see the GUI right away. Fun!!!!

Thanks for you help.

I've noticed that it doesn't change too, under MSW, but couldn't
understand why, since it works in GTK.

Ahhh, I just discovered that you need to use a 32x32 bit XPM file or
load a 32x32 ico from disk in MSW.

If you want to change the icon that is displayed in windows explorer
you have to change the icon in the wxluafreeze.rc resource file and
recompile. I found these programs that I think should be able to
change the icon of a precompiled executable, but I haven't tested
either.

I just found this as well. The icon I was trying to load from file had
multiple icons and sizes in it and it didn't like that either.

Great. I will look into that.
