LOL NEVERMIND!!

Error on my part (two actually).

I forgot ExtractFilePath function also tacks on the backslash character, i.e the ' ' char.

Sooo the code for the string was translating to C:…some folder…\settings.ini

instead of C:Some foldersettings.ini

The double backslash was screwing it up.

plus I realized I didn't release the IniFile object with 'Free'

Although that doesn't affect the reading, just memory issue.

problem solved.

< homer simpson says...> DOH !!!

Hello Marvie,

I seem to remember the PNGImage unit must be installed separately for delphi < 2009. You can download the file here.

Maybe it will help you further…

Ahhh yes! Now that you mention it I too remember installing that back when I was on Windows XP. I finally got a chance to check into this last week on the laptop and noticed it there. You are correct. Thanks.

However, as a work around the ImageList option still works ok.

Everything shows up as expected using imageindex option.

Just weird that it wouldn't accept a single glyph option.

Even though it IS in the correct file format.

Hi Marvie,

I just set up a basic app with a SkinManager, SkinProvider, AlphaImageList and 1 Speed Button.

Using Delphi XE, AC 8.20, and Windows Vista 64 bit I was able to assign a single glyph using the method you described without error.

Hum? weird.

I probably should have mentioned previously, that I'm using Delphi 7 and on Windows 7, and it is AC v8.2 stable

On a hunch, I started a new application, placed just the bare minimum SkinManager, SkinProvider, and a single Speed button, and tried to add via the “Glyph” option in object inspector. I still get the same error.
