Hi,
I have a few examples were a long strip of images is loaded and used as the tool bar Icon (for buttons) ....
How do I use the same concept to load smile tool bar for scrolling text ?
I have seen it done using masm32 but how to define each smile?
Like smile 1 through 12 I have seen an example were in the text for the scroller for each smile you have db " offh,0h" <- that is smile 1 than db "offh,2dh" that is smile 4
I don't see the logic in that?
any thought? is it like the sprite example in masm?
Or how can I load just one smilie face and have it scroll in a the text scroller ?
Hutch uses the "Rebar" method
there may be other ways, but....

I have tons of example in MASM for that but how do I do it for a scrolling Text?
i'm not really sure what you mean
you want to stick smileys in with the text ?
kinda like chatting with yahoo messenger ?
i guess it's a matter of...
loading the image
calculating source coordinates (to get the smiley you want)
calculating destination coordinates (like in a compatible DC)
and painting the image in there :P

yap I dunno how to do that.... look at the video here http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=17168.0 go straight to 9:48 to see that effect
http://cyberdoomsystems.narod.ru/ripp/about.rar from here http://cyberdoomsystems.narod.ru/ripp.html
how did he do that?
soo neat
It looks like you are compiling your program as a console application. I'm fairly sure that console applications can't have menus, or rebars (or, bitmaps displayed).
When you compile with ML.exe, specify the /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS switch. And, of course, you'll have to call CreateWindowEx somewhere.

I know how to load the image and paint the image ....
but how to:
calculating source coordinates (to get the smiley you want)
and:
calculating destination coordinates (like in a compatible DC)
in the example that I saw that was just added in the scroller....
cut him some slack...
he's havin a mid-life crisis (http://tipsylights.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/smoking-smiley-54371.gif)
well - that doesn't look all that difficult :P
it's more about paint and scroll than it is about getting an image in there
what i mean is, the paint and scroll code is the hard part
after all the stuff you've been doing, i should come to you to ask how - lol

I know how to load a smilie see here: http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=17099.0
I used it to CreateCaret ... but I dunno how to:
1. choose different smilie
2. integrate it into the scrolling text
well - a little knowledge of bitmap format is all you need to calculate the source image coordinates
i think everything is stored in 4-bytes per pixel format
the total width of the source image X 4 X line number (zero based) will get you the start of a line
index into each line to get the part of the image you want
i have little experience with this stuff - there is probably a really cool API function to do it for you :P
as for integrating it into the text - that is, again, a matter of calculating coordinates
then, i suppose BitBlt the thing over there
back to the rebar .... that uses a structure like this:
tbrbtns TBBUTTON <7,10000,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_BUTTON,0,0>
TBBUTTON <8,10001,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_BUTTON,0,0>
TBBUTTON <0,0,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_SEP,0,0>
TBBUTTON <0,10002,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_BUTTON,0,0>
TBBUTTON <1,10003,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_BUTTON,0,0>
TBBUTTON <2,10004,TBSTATE_ENABLED,TBSTYLE_BUTTON,0,0>
ntbrbtns equ 6
how could that be used for smilies....
also if you down load the example http://cyberdoomsystems.narod.ru/ripp/about.rar you will see that the smilies are positioned in the data for the text scroller

I dunno if that would work ...in the caret example
there is a structure like this:
CarPos struct
x dd ?
y dd ?
CarPos endscp CarPos <>than to bit bit the caret :
invoke BitBlt,hDC,X,cp.y,50,50,CarDC,0,0,SRCCOPYbut that is in a fix position.... I want it to scroll
Just because you can come on here to get answers to your dim-witted projects does not mean you can insult people who are helping you out.
You have to be kidding me, honestly. You are saying "Oh ho ho, what are you smoking?". You put up two images of a bong and a blunt; why are you being a brat?
And I have taken a look at your previous posts, and I don't like how your threads add up.
It's not hard to put two and two together.

That was just for fun ....was not to insult anybody ..... in the spirit of smilies
