As always drawing in HiDPI mode defeats me. I need to draw a small icon in an existing icon. But the graphics is nil.
dim thePictureLight as Picture = new picture(16, 16, 32)
thePictureLight = ListboxIcons.getPictureLight(LevelList.subhead(currentNode).text, false)
dim OffSet as Integer = thePictureLight.Width/2
dim thePath as String = LevelList.subhead(currentNode).thePath
if ImapStatus.IndexOf(thePath) > -1 then
for currentPic as Integer = 0 to thePictureLight.ImageCount - 1
thePictureLight.ImageAt(currentPic).Graphics.DrawPicture(exclamation, OffSet, OffSet, exclamation.Width/2, exclamation.Height/2, 0, 0, exclamation.Width, exclamation.Height)
next 'Graphics is nil here
end if
What do I need to change to get the exclamation icon into the larger icon? I think that thePictureLight isn’t mutable. But how do I get from there to a mutable picture with HiDPI?
thePictureLight = AddExclamation(thePictureLight)
Private Function AddExclamation(original as Picture) as Picture
'add exclamation icon
if original = Nil then Return Nil
Dim n As Integer=original.ImageCount
If n=0 Then
Return AddExclamationInner(original)
Else
Dim pp() As Picture
n=n-1
for i as integer=0 to n
pp.Add AddExclamationInner(original.ImageAt(i))
Next
#Pragma BreakOnExceptions False
try
Return new Picture(original.Width, original.Height, pp)
catch err as NilObjectException
'ignore
end try
#Pragma BreakOnExceptions True
End If
End Function
Private Function AddExclamationInner(OriginalPicture as Picture) as Picture
'add exclamation icon
Dim ResultPicture As New Picture(OriginalPicture.Width, OriginalPicture.Height)
ResultPicture.Graphics.DrawPicture(OriginalPicture.CopyColorChannels, 0, 0, _
OriginalPicture.Width, OriginalPicture.Height, _
0, 0, _
OriginalPicture.Width, OriginalPicture.Height)
ResultPicture.Graphics.DrawPicture(exclamation, OriginalPicture.Width/2, OriginalPicture.Height/2, _
exclamation.Width, exclamation.Height, _
0, 0, _
exclamation.Width, exclamation.Height)
ResultPicture.ApplyMask OriginalPicture.CopyMask
End Function
This works almost. The smaller icon is painted correctly into the larger icon which I can see in the debugger. But returning the new picture made from pp results in a nil picture for thePictureLight. What am I doing wrong?
