Toolbar Command Button can't use Icon in ICL package in Win7

In win 7, I found Command Button in TC toolbar can't use Icon in ICL package (packed with iclread.wcx plugin) any more, but normally in win2k, xp.

If the 'Icon File' in "Change Button Bar' dialog box reffers to a ICL Package file, TC refuses to open and display Icons inclueded in the package on ICON filed under "Icon File' of the dialog box when pressing the >> button.

It seems that your ICL is 16-bit library and your Windows 7 is 64-bit OS. 64-bit Windows can't work with 16-bit programs and libraries at all. You need to convert your ICL from 16-bit to 32-bit using corresponding software (try search this forum, it was discussed already).

Confirmed - when the icl file is packed with iclread.wcx - but not when it is packed with for example iclview.wlx

Furthermore the icons cannot be viwed in Lister when using Irfanview as viewer - but it can be viewed with plugins like iclview or Imagine.

i packed icl package with iclread.wcx, and view the package with iclview.wxl.

hi, guy
several days before, i had solved thd question according to your way. this is truely 32bit iconlib problem.
but today, i re-restored my ghost to my laptop, found the problem remains the same as before.
strangly, my ICLLib is same and had been converted to ICL32.

why like this?

You may always try to use icons from ICL for e.g. Windows LNK files to check if it is TC or Windows problem.

By any chance: did you restore the TC Path with the *.br2 (default.br2, ..) files?
These are cache files containing the icon symbols of the button bar.
You may delete them and restart TC to rebuild the cache from 32Bit-ICL.

Maybe, iclview's command "save all as ICL...." would result in different ICL lib format.
for 32-bit ICons Libraries in "Save Icon Library" dialog box, *.icl32 differ from *.icl.
I used *.icl, done.

thanx.
