There is a very devious way to do it. First, you must have MapInfo v7 or +.
Second, you must extract the icon as a BMP (via Resource
Hacker for example). Third, the bmp must be registered as a TAB. Fourth you
must include in your code a dialog handler to display
the icon. Fifth, you should restore the functionality of the icon with the
appropriate code; however the documentwindow control does
not accept a handler. Thus a little bit more "deviousness"; add a button that
will "frame" the image and that will have the handler.
If another document window contains an accessible map, you can use such
icons/buttons to navigate or do other operations (change
style, create objects...) within that dialog.
Does anyone have with some experience in the area of map manipulations in a
dialog?
This code will prove my point: (the settings are for a large icon; they will
need some adjustment if a small format is used)
declare sub dialoghandler
declare sub zoomplus
dialog Title "Icon in dialog" calling dialoghandler
Control DocumentWindow ID 1007 Width 20 Height 18 position 10,10 disable
control button position 7,7 width 22 height 20 title "" calling zoomplus
control okbutton
sub dialoghandler
Dim iHwnd As Integer
iHwnd = ReadControlValue(1007)
Set Next Document Parent iHwnd Style 1
open table "gr01_005_26.tab"
map from gr01_005_26
set coordsys table gr01_005_26
set window frontwindow() width 1.2 Units "in" height 1.2 Units "in" scrollbars
off
set map window frontwindow() center (60,-60) zoom 120 Units "ft"
end sub
sub zoomplus
run menu command 1705
end sub

You can not do this in MapBasic. Some use c,c++ or delphi to embed forms
in dll to use from MapBasic in MapInfo. If your a novice devloper I
would stick to the standard MapBasic dialogs.
You could build a buttonpad (not a dialog) in MapBasic with toggle
buttons and icon change on toggle.

Subject: [MI-L] Icon Image Buttons in dialogs
Hello,
I am trying to build a MapBasic dialog box with icons in Push buttons
which act like toggles.
One push and it is On and Push again, it is Off. I need to be able to
dynamically change the icon of each button as it is depressed (like in
VB) by changing the bmp's. How do I do this?
What control I must use?
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
