From: Joost Kraaijeveld on 25 Dec 2008 06:19 Hi, I am writing a multiplatform application (Linux/Windows) and want to use XPM files as my source for icons and (button)bitmaps so that the files can be replaced without compiling. It works flawless on Linux, but on Windows I get a run-time error: "No image handler for type 9 defined", if I use code like: SetIcon(wxIcon(wxT("my_icon.xpm"),wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM )); I think that I have compiled in XPM support as there is a "#define wxUSE_XPM 1" in my setup.h, which is generated by running "../configure --enable-unicode" in MSys/MinGW. Is there something special I should do to make XPM files work on Windows? TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

Looks like you are trying to read from an XPM file. I use XPM on Windows and Linux in a slightly different way. As XPM is just C/C++ code, I put it in a header file and compile it like other code. Then, it is a simple matter of #include "icons_xpm.h" .. .. wxIcon icon(icon16x16_xpm); where icon16x16_xpm is defined in the "icons_xpm.h" header file. -- Carsten A.
