Archive: Adding Graphics to the MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS page


Adding Graphics to the MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS page
Is there any way for me to add say a Thumbnail image of the Optional Component instead of the Text that appears in the Description Box.

For example in my installation I give the user the choice of installing a number of Windows Pointers. It would be nice if I could show a thumbnail bitmap of the pointer.

Is this possible what code would I need to change or would I need to make a new Component Page to do this?


Possible only when re-compiling the UI holder, with the current conpilation, I don't think so.

But yes, you can create your own page as components dialog. :D


You can edit the UI file (Contrib\UIs\modern.exe) with Resource Hacker and tell MUI to use the new one using the MUI_UI define. Then you can use System.dll and SendMessage to set the image. There are examples of setting images in the forum and a big one in the Archive, if I recall correctly.
