Terry, It would look at first view that there is some discrepancy between the software and the documentation including def files (this icon does not exist in 6.5). I have encountered several such situations while compiling differences between versions (up to 6.5 ...!). In your case, it would seem that new definitions should be added to the end of the ICONS.DEF file because new internal values could not have been added at the end of the "transport" section, these values having been assigned sequentially without gaps between "topics".

My system uses the "London Transport"-like symbol of a horizontal line through a circle (like the Tube). I have my own, bespoke .ICO for this. I notice that this is available as the 33rd symbol of the "MapInfo Transportation" font. But, in the ICONS.DEF file, the definitions only go up to: MI_ICON_TRANSPORT_27 (i.e. only 27 of them, strangely enough) Now the code to generate the button requires an integer "Button_ID", as in: . { PushButton | ToggleButton | ToolButton } Calling { procedure | menu_code | OLE methodname | DDE server , topic } [ ID button_id ] [ Icon n [ File file_spec ] ] . So I assume, effectively, I can't specify the icon I want. Help further states: ".If the File sub-clause specifies the name of a file containing icon resources, n is an Integer resource ID identifying a resource in the file." Whatever THAT means!! When I label my Bus Stops, on the map, with this symbol, the following MB code is generated: Set Map Layer 1 Display Global Global Symbol (64,16711680,12,"MapInfo Transportation",0,0), so that's no problem. Can anyone tell me how I might be able to have my chosen icon on the button. (and, while I'm at it, I can't find any equivalent of the Windows standard button icons for Edit)?
