[Closed] Possible to avoid "Error on opening bitmap" on image buttons

Feb 08, 2010 6:55 pm

Hi, I have searched this forum and the max help – and I can’t seem to figure out how to fallback to the specified label in a button if an image doesn’t exist.

For example:


 button foo  "label" images:#("dcybtns.bmp", undefined, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

If dcybtns.bmp doesn’t exist I would like to avoid the compile error and just use the text label instead.

I could check if the file exist before in a if/else clause, but I was thinking there had to be an easier way? I couldn’t get try/catch to work either…

that’s probably easiest way:


 rollout test "test" 
 (
 	local images = if doesfileexist (getdir #ui + "\\icons\\dcybtns.bmp") then #("dcybtns.bmp", undefined, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) else unsupplied
 	button bt "button" images:images
 )
 createdialog test
