Not able to display my .png files in the ribbon

[jamkhp]

Hello all,

Good day,  Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all,

I am trying to create a ribbon of my own, and the code and execution is fine, but I am not able to put the images.

my images are not more than 1 kb in size and are stored in the resources.resources1.... how do I get them to display.
Please help.

I am trying to work with the available code found in one of the training sessions,

'Code starts

'on one of my subs I am calling this function 

'ribBtn.LargeImage = LoadImage("FR.png")

Private Shared Function LoadImage(ByRef ImageName As String) As Imaging.BitmapImage

Dim bi As New System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage()

bi.BeginInit()
bi.StreamSource = GetEmbeddedResourceStream("MyRibbon_Autocad." & ImageName)
bi.EndInit() ' When i debug the code, the code is exiting at this point, i am assuming it is not getting initialised.
Return bi
End Function

Protected Shared Function GetEmbeddedResourceStream(ByVal ResourceName As String) As Stream
Return System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(ResourceName)
End Function

I dont see any error, but the ribbon is getting generated but withut any images, just a plane ribbon.

Hello,

Wish you a very happy new year.

Have you set the "ribBtn.Size = RibbonItemSize.Large" ?

This will ensure that AutoCAD uses the large image.

Here is a blog post with a sample code that might help :

Hi

Thank you and to you

using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using Autodesk.Windows;
.
.
.

RibbonButton rConductorbutton = new RibbonButton();
            rConductorbutton.Text = "OOO";
            rConductorbutton.Id = "btnConductor";
            rConductorbutton.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Vertical;
            rConductorbutton.Size = RibbonItemSize.Standard;
            rConductorbutton.Image = new BitmapImage(new Uri(... + @"\Icon\Conductor32.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
            rConductorbutton.ShowText = true;
            rConductorbutton.ShowImage = true;
            rConductorbutton.Click += new System.Windows.RoutedEventHandler(btnCounductor_Click);

it can be one of the ways that you can use to show png file but it's C# if couldn't change it to VB let me know to change it for you
