Hi all,
Does anyone know how to explicitly specify an array to be used as a
color bitmap button label? I know how to use CVTTOBM to convert a
byte array into a monochrome "bitmap byte array" (as RSI calls it)
that passed to WIDGET_BUTTON via the VALUE keyword. However, i can't
seem to find a way to extend this to a color bitmap without specifying
a filename in the VALUE keyword to WIDGET_BUTTON.
The reason i ask is because i would like my code to be completely
self-sufficient, so that i do not have to worry about copying any
bitmap files when moving the code to a new platform. I've searched
the newsgroup and the web for an answer to this but have had no luck,
so i throw myself on your collective wisdom. Thanks in advance!
Ted Graves

Perhaps you need to compose a song about histograms.

Yeah, I have lots of good ideas, but not one of
them has ever made me rich. Have you listened to the
lyrics of some of these songs that are making
these "musicians" millions!? "Blah, blah, da blah."
How come I never come up with an idea like that? :-(
Cheers,
David
