Modern Dialog - CreateImageControl2

[twk]

Greetings all,

I'm trying to display a preview of my PIO in a dialog. Somewhat like the Custom Stair tool(attached).

Would using the CreateImageControl function cater to this?

Dev Wiki says

PROCEDURE CreateImageControl(

dialogID :LONGINT;

componentID :LONGINT;

iWidthPixels :INTEGER;

iHeightPixels :INTEGER;

hImage :HANDLE);

Parameters

dialogID LONGINT

componentID LONGINT

iWidthPixels INTEGER

iHeightPixels INTEGER

hImage HANDLE

Whats hImage refering to? The plugin object handle?

THanks in advance

Tui

You want to use CreateSymbolDisplayControl() to generate a preview image. You can't simply display a preview of the PIO automatically, you will have to generate the geometry to display in the symbol display control. It's simple as long as you have your object designed correctly.

CreateImageControl2() will just allow you to place a predefined image in the dialog.
