Resolution independence and button icons

[Klaus]

But there's nowhere to specify a filename on a button icon ???

Nowhere!

As I wrote:

Yes, you need to set the image id, but it does not matter if that image has been imported or is referenced = its FILENAME set!

See screenshot...

Ahhhh *slaps forehead*

So the button references an imported image which in turn references the filename.

Sorry it took you so long to get through my thick skull, but thank-you so much for patience and persistence.

Hopefully someone else will find this useful, too.

Cheers,

Hi Adrian,

So the button references an imported image which in turn references the filename.

Almost

The button references any Livecode image object!
The image object itself can be internal/imported or referenced to a file on disk = the filename.

There is already a feature request to expand this technique (resolution independence via "filename" swapping)
to also work with IMPORTED images, but until then we need to use referenced images.

Klaus, I'm pretty sure you have also a solution to use an image as pattern, right?

sure, what is the question?

To use an image as pattern for a control and that that image is influenced by the resolution independent system (natural,@2x, etc)

[Klaus]

Never tried it, but should work the SAME as for buttons described above.

[Mag]

Unfortunately it seems that doesn't work, see the attached image. The image switches to @2x, the pattern doesn't.

The test stack...

You cannot make another post so soon after your last.
