Good morning, good evening, and for some good night. A few months ago I posted a question asking if anyone knew how to make MapInfo tool buttons. The response was great however seemed to be quite expensive and time consuming. For this reason we at work started a search on the net for tools that would create icons or buttons. We came up with the following tool That might be useful to some of you. Resource Hacker: - has the ability to open existing *.dll files with buttons and replace or add more - allows you to use 18 x 16 *.bmp files as buttons and saving the project file as a *.dll - after creating the *.dll you can then call the file and buttons when creating your button pad - great help files - Resource Hacker is equipped with many other functions as well We also have some added resources, created in house, that we use to assist with button creation. - template *.bmp files - Buttons_template.dll file (the program needs an original file to hack, so to speak) - quick and easy training video These extras and links will be posted on the NZ MapInfo site in the near future. http://www.localgovt.co.nz/library/informationsystems/systemsapps/GIS/index. htm We use Resource Hacker now for most of our MapBasic Projects. New buttons that can be created in minutes are great. This product is freeware and the site is linked below. http://rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker/ Cheers Ethan Ethan Hohneck GIS Operator Waitakere City Council Waitakere City New Zealand _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
