Hi ATMA

Code:

dialog new_table { [
  title "New Project"
  size -1 -1 88 430
  option dbu
  icon 1, 7 64  [color:red]1 1[/color]
}

The colours in red are the size of the icon, change this size to anything you want,
i used 1 to represent the smallest icon size you can use

Hope you find this usefull

he wants to change the icon index (like diff sized icons in one *.ICO file.) i dont know how to do that though

edit:
there are 4 diff sizes of the same icon, in one ICO file

Sorry if i have misread ATMAS post, but i dont see anything about him wanting to change the icon index, i thought
he wanted to know how to change the size of icons.

If he wants to change the icon index try this as an example

Code:

  icon 21, 2 130 16 16,  mircscripts.icl, [color:red]1[/color]
  icon 22, 19 130 16 16,  mircscripts.icl, [color:red]9[/color]
  icon 23, 36 130 16 16,  mircscripts.icl, [color:red]8[/color]
  icon 24, 53 130 16 16,  mircscripts.icl, [color:red]11[/color]

the numbers at the end in red , are the icons within an Icon Library or ICL file, microangelo can make these librarys

You can edit any icon and size, for example 16x16 (which if ATMA wants he didnt state this clearly) or 38x38 or 48x48
using any standard icon editor program, i myself use Microangelo, to to this, but theres tons of icon editor programs
try http://www.snapfiles.com

Anymore probs and get back to me

if this is still not what you want, i know the post prolly isnt too clear, i`m sorry

he gets an error i dont know the error any more, but he will post it when he gets home

see here is my prob... i even tested this w/ an icon that is 16x16 that is the only thing in it i have it on the dialog and it streatchs and apears as like a 32x32 icon (defeault?) and i have no idea wtf is w/ it... i try to do the whole index thing and it just errors the dialog =/

Hi ATMA

Umm i have no idea why it would strecth the icon from a 16x16 to a 32x32, only other thing i can think of is
do you use a dialog creation program, eg DialogStudio, StarDust or MDXStudio ?

Maybe they are at fault when creating the dialog code.

Can you post the dialog code ?, and maybe somebody can figure this out.

I have been making ICL files and using indexs with no problems for ages so i dont get errors
