- If you wish to use these bitmaps on your own buttons in a dialog box:
-
- The bitmaps are in sets of six, to allow for VGA/EGA, pressing the button, and selecting.
-
- So for IDOK, the buttons are 1001, 2001, 3001, 4001, 5001, 6001.
-
- To use the bitmaps on the buttons for IDOK, use the button from the BWCC tools in
- workshop. On setting the ID to IDOK (or 1), you should see the bitmap on the button.
-
- To define your own buton bitmaps, you need to provide one each of the 1xxx, 2xxx, ...
- 6xxx where xxx is your ID for that button.
-
- Of course, you must also ensure that your program starts the BWCC.DLL as well. I don't
- know if you need to have the dialog as a bordlg type though.
