Drawing a chessmate and more...

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I need to create a chessboard made by 16x16 pixel icons, 31 rows x 16 colums.

At the beginning, all icon are the same (a red circle) and each icon rapresents the status of an harware swicth (ON or OFF)
Then, I have to change one or more icons per row, depending on the value I will receive on the serial comm.

First question: can I clone (duplicate) one icon or I have to set one by one using the editor?

Second question: how can I swap a red icon into a green icon?

I try the LoadImage function, but I discovered it's not working on NT enviroment.

My idea was somthing like this...

hTempIco = LoadImage(ByVal %Null, ByCopy "green.ico", %IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, %LR_LOADFROMFILE) ' but this is not working :-(

for nR = 1 to nMaxRow
 for nC = 1 to nMaCol
    aICO_ID(nR,nC) = DrawIcon(IDC_FORM1_FRAME1, nR, Nc, hTemp)
 next
next

And, then, a function that will change the single image.

I know how can I locate the X/Y position of an icon, but I don't know with API function (or somthing else) I can use to do it.

Could you help me, please?
Regards
