How to check the buttondefinition.standardicon status

[bradeneuropeArthur]

How can I check a buttondefinition having the correct standardicon.

I tried with

Buttondefinition.standarducon = myicon, but is returning false.

Myicon is on the Button and part of the Button displayed. I only want to check and the check is not working.

But that is not working

Hi Arthur,

To get your Button working correctly
https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2024/ENU/?guid=ControlDefinitions_AddButtonDefinition

Syntax

ControlDefinitions.AddButtonDefinition( DisplayName As String, InternalName As String, Classification As CommandTypesEnum, [ClientId] As Variant, [DescriptionText] As String, [ToolTipText] As String, [StandardIcon] As Variant, [LargeIcon] As Variant, [ButtonDisplay] As ButtonDisplayEnum ) As ButtonDefinition

1- [StandardIcon] As Variant : Make sure that your icon size is 16x16 pixel (.bmp)

2- [LargeIcon] As Variant : Make sure that your icon size is 32x32 pixel(.bmp)

I don't know if you can compare ipicturedisp objects.

Seems that it does not work indeed.

I would have hoped that I could test if the button contains a specific icon.

What I try is the following:

I have a red icon and I have a green icon.

I change the icon for the button from red to green and that works fine.

I want if I press the button that the icon changes from red to green

and if I press again I want to change it from green to red.

Since I am not able to check what button is on the button I can not easily change it like "on press if red than green if green than red"

What color is it when IV start? Green? Red?  Same at last run?

Add variable to store icon color.  When clicked, change icon and variable.

The save last run, you'll need to setup Settings in VS.

I use this to set dialog box to same location on last run:

      If (My.Settings.LastX <> 0) And (My.Settings.LastY <> 0) Then
        m_PropCopy.StartPosition = Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.Manual
        m_PropCopy.Location = New Drawing.Point(My.Settings.LastX, My.Settings.LastY)
      End If

Use Move Event to save LastX, Y:

  Private Sub FPropCopy_Move(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Move
    My.Settings.LastX = Location.X
    My.Settings.LastY = Location.Y
    My.Settings.Save()
  End Sub

If not, you'll need to load icon into byte array and compare byte by byte.
