Runtime/AutoLISP / dcl_project_import

Last post by jbuzbee - July 14, 2025, 02:23:01 AM

what's going on with dcl_project_import.  I havn't been on my computer lately = what's happened now?  I've got over 25 AutoLISP programs that use OpenDCL.

Can someone shed some light?  I would seriously appreciate it. (I've down loaded the latest runtime and studio)

Project Administration / Re: acadbtn.dll

The file is just a normal resource DLL, so I think you can use a tool like Resource Hacker.

I'd like to get access to some bitmaps (.BMP) from AutoCAD Architecture 2024.  Found on the web they are in the ACADBTN.dll.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

Nope.  I can't find any way I can load an image (which becomes a number)

I spoke to soon

I opened an older form with bitmaps on it and I could fill more in the pictures box with the other items.  If it doesnt have an image already there I can't add bmps.

I guess Ill just use an older form

Studio/Dialog Editor / .BMP is there a better way?

Last post by jbuzbee - July 07, 2025, 03:58:03 AM

I used bitmaps years ago and I can't remember how I did it.  I'm going full OpenDCL: nothing left of AutoCAD except the two upper menus and the command line.  No toolbars, Ribbon - nothing.

My problem is the .BMPs: they're numbers and there it's only like 10 or so I need the bitmaps for my tool bars.  I've enough - 50 or so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
