creating unique image handles
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/creating unique image handles
| ||
| Hi, Maybe a daft question but is it possible to create unique image handles from within a Blitz program. i.e I want to load x number of images and assign each with its own image handle, but the total number is not known until the code is run. Would it be possible to use image+the number of the image loaded as the handle? i.e image001,image002..... |

Graphics 800, 600
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
img1 = LoadImage("Monster.png")
img2 = LoadImage("Monster.png")
img3 = LoadImage("Monster.png")
Print img1
Print img2
Print img3
WaitKey()
The handles themselves are non sequeential as you can see so that won't work. You can't apply a handle to an image as the handle returned IS unique to that image. Can't you just store them in an array? A bank would work well. |

| I want to be able to create image buttons within XLint. So each button will need to be given its own handle. So i wouldn't be able to use banks etc. I do have a workaround but its real messy and would prefer to be able to do it properly. Its a shame that you cant assign an image handle from a name held in a string |

| Its a shame that you cant assign an image handle from a name held in a string String lookups? You want Hash Tables. But I don't understand why you can't simply use a basic array, which can be resized dynamically. |
