[harshdeep]

How can i, if at all, put small bitmaps with menu items?

Thanks in advance

Your MENU_ITEM should look like:

MENU_ITEM { command=ECmdView1Sound; txt ="Sound"; bmpfile = "\\system\\apps\\DreamLove\\sound.mbm"; bmpid=0;bmpmask=1;}

Thanks a lot. It helped.

Now, can you please tell me how to create my own mbms from, say, jpeg images that i have?

Thanks a lot

Bitmaps show up in menu (in the emulator) when i use Borland SDK v1.2 with Borland C++BuilderX Mobile Edition.

Howeevr, when I use Codewarrior (SDK v2.0), bitmaps dont show up in the corresponding emulator.

They also dont show up in the device - Nokia 6620 (i compile for device using borland)

Here is the menu_item resource i use
MENU_ITEM
{
command = EAlbumCmdEditManualAdjustReset; txt = "Reset";
bmpfile = "C:\\Nokia\\Images\\test.mbm";
bmpid = 0;
bmpmask = 0;
}

I created a test mbm file contains 1 small bitmap (10*10 pixels) and was created using bmconv.

Kindly help

i don't know for the emulator, but i guess Nokia 6600 cannot display menu pictures at all (the same program does display icons on 7650 and does not on 6600)
