A question about .mif

[vinp]

Hello list,
Here is the LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO structure generated by Carbide C++ V2.3 for my project:
RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_localisable_app_info
{
short_caption = qtn_caption_string;
caption_and_icon =
CAPTION_AND_ICON_INFO
{
caption = qtn_caption_string;

number_of_icons = 1;
icon_file = "\\resource\\apps\\CardGameGUIAppVer2_0xEC32B5FC.mif";
};
}
Assuming that the .mif file is related to my app icon, I commented the line out and created another icon_file statement for my .mbm file.
But when I compile the project, I get an RCOMP error for the .rsg file included in my _reg.rss:
#include <CardGameGUIAppVer2_0xEC32B5FC.rsg>
The error says that the file could not be found.
But if I reinstate the original icon_file line, this error goes away.
Can any of the members explain this?
TIA
Vin

hi,

can you paste the console output of ur project.
and it seems problem due to error in your .rss file syntax and grammar.

If the 2 in "AppVer2" is a new thing, do not forget updating your .mk file.

Here is change that I make to .rss file in LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO:
//icon_file = "\\resource\\apps\\CardGameGUIAppVer2_0xEC32B5FC.mif";
icon_file = "\\resource\\apps\\CardGame.mbm"

And here is the console output with the errors. If rever the above change, the errors disapear. I have only copied the errors because of the limitation about the number of characters that are permissible in the post.

Did you put ";" after this statement
icon_file = "\\resource\\apps\\CardGame.mbm"

as it is showing syntax error.

The rcomp failures are due to .rss or _reg.rss file. Can you check your .rss file at line 185 and 189.
better paste that portion of code ...

The issue was the missing semicolon. I added the semicolon, and the build goes fine.
However, the icon image that I see on the device is not the same as what I have in my .bmp file.
Is there a particular format that is required for the image file to be used as an icon?

thanks
Vin

Just to add to my previous post.
I use a 34x24 24 bit bitmap for my icon.
thanks
Vin
