I'm trying to create a dialog box using Resedit that uses a color logo, and it doesn't seem to be happening. When I take a picture that's been pasted into the scrapbook, whose resource type is identified as both PICT and PXCR, and paste it into the dialog window in Resedit, nothing appears - the pictures seem to get saved as PXCR resources by Resedit, but I can't view them. THe resource appears as few hex bytes, but no picture. Any suggestions ? Pramod Daya pramod@drizzle.cs.uoregon.edu

What I do is open the Scrapbook file myself using ResEdit, find the PICT I want, copy it and paste it into my application. Works like a charm. The PXCR resource seems to be some kind of private data used only by PixelPaint. Good Luck! ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.

You want the PICT resource, which you can get by using ResEdit to go into the Scrapbook first and copying the correct PICT, and then pasting it into your target resource file. -- Roger L.
