[wxperl-users] Problem loading Icon information from memory

[Peter G. <pe...@pg...>]

Hi.

I am using pp (the perl packager) to build an executable perl program
for distribution.

I need access to an icon from the distribution, so I get the contents
and add the file to the MemoryFsHandler. From there, I try to install
the icon using Wx:Icon::LoadFile. On startup, the program complains that
the icon  "memory:my.ico" is not available.D oes Wx:Icon::LoadFile allow
files to be added via VFS. If not, how do I add an Icon?


This is a small segment of the code:

    Wx::FileSystem::AddHandler( Wx::MemoryFSHandler->new );
    Wx::MemoryFSHandler::AddTextFile( 'my.ico',  $iconFile);
    $result = $icon->LoadFile("memory:my.ico",wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO) ;


Thanks,

Peter

  You can't use LoadFile with VFS. You can use an in-memory filehandle
(open my $fh, '<', \$iconFile) and pass that filehandle to LoadFile.
You can also use IO::Scalar or similar.
