  • 1.  Change URI path to custom path

    Posted 10-09-2022 21:16
    Hi All.

    I'm trying to build a python tool for MapInfo and wanted to use custom images for my buttons.

    I've assembled a .dll file (first time doing it so there's a chance it wasn't done correclty) for platform x64 and made sure all my images we're set up to Resources and Do Not Copy on their properties. 

    The python script runs without a problem, but the images still don't come through. I'm using the addinorigin option for the path and file:/// since it seems to help with the spaces in the folder path as seen here
    buttonWorkspace.LargeIcon = CommonUtil.path_to_uri("pack://addinorigin:,,,file:///myfolderpath/ImagesResources/ImagesResources.dll;component/Images/map_Location_Strategy_32x32.png") 

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any ideas where to look?

    Hi Maria

    Did you have a look at this post: Can I also use my own custom icons/images for the controls?

    And this post which was created as an answer to the one above: Using custom icons from a .NET Assembly

    Hello Maria,
     I have attached one python sample with example on using Images from .Net resource assemblies. Example also has a .Net resource assembly project that you can re-use for your images.

    code snippet:

    buttonHelloRibbon.LargeIcon = CommonUtil.path_to_uri("pack://addinorigin:,,,/file:///{}/ImageResources.dll;component/Images/close16.png".format(dirname(__file__)))

buttonHelloRibbon.SmallIcon = CommonUtil.path_to_uri("pack://addinorigin:,,,/file:///{}/ImageResources.dll;component/Images/close32.png".format(dirname(__file__)))​

    Thanks
    Anshul

    Hi Anshul.

    I tried your piece of code, but no luck.
