FileCreate + FileAddPicture

Post by Patrick »

Hi,

I use your DLL for a while on Windows 98 and it is really a good product (I use the release 1.90 with no problem for my usage).

My question is relative to the functions gflFileCreate, gflFileAddPicture and gflFileClose.

I have 2 icon files (.ico) and I want to create a single icon file containing these 2 icons.

First, I call gflFileCreate with the FormatIndex of the save_params structure filled with 20 (which is the format index for the .ico format).

I receive an error code "Bad format index" !

Why ?

Thanks for your help

P.S. The destination file doesn't exists before the call.

Currently gflFileCreate support only DCX/TIFF format.

OK, I understand ....

but, is it possible to create a TIFF file with 2 bitmaps (from the 2 .ico files) and after creating it to convert this TIFF file into a .ico file (with the 2 icon inside) ?

Thanks

Patrick

No, sorry.
