Associating GuiBitmapCtrl to ImageMap
by Stanley D Chatman · in Torque Game Builder · 08/29/2006 (10:45 am) · 6 replies
Is there anyway to link a GuiBitmapCtrl to an ImageMap. It appears that the "bitmap" property refers to a image file on disk.

The GuiBitMapCtrl has a property called bitmap that refers to a file on disk, I want it to reference a ImageMap object that has multiple frames and dynamically create bitmap controls on the fly.
Lets say I have one large ImageMap that contains all the letters of the font and I want to dynamically split them up.
Listen to what I am asking here.
Can the bitmap property on the GuiBitmap control refer to an ImageMap object not to a bitmap file on disk?

I don't think you can use an ImageMap for the bitmap field, but I could be wrong.
Post back if you get it to work. I am interested to know.

I'm sorry I misunderstood your post, but I was clearly only trying to help you. There's no reason to be so harsh - especially to someone who actually took the time to respond.I don't think you can use an ImageMap for the bitmap field, but I could be wrong.

Unfortunately, you can't assign t2dImageMaps to a standard GuiBitmapCtrl. If you have the source version of TGB, there are ways of accomplishing what you desire. Check out this thread:guiT2dCtrl
