Re: Problem with pbr finding BMP files

I am currently having a problem with BMP files not being included in the build.  The push buttons for the icons are being found OK, but the BMP files for the login and splash screens are missing.

The path to the .pbr file is:
C:\builds\fullcourtV4\pb8src\Common\fullcrt.pbr

The bitmaps are located in:
C:\builds\fullcourtV4\pb8src\Common\BITMAPS

The old build system paths were shorter.

Any ideas regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Additional information.

We are currently using PowerBuilder 8.0, PowerGen 5.5, on an XP Professional system.

Re: Problem with pbr finding BMP files

As a test, try placing the PBR file in the same directory as the bitmaps and removing the directory from the BMP paths.

The API we use (provided by Sybase) behaves a little differently then native PB in this area.

Let us know if this helps.

Regards,

Phil

Re: Problem with pbr finding BMP files

I was able to work around the problem by locating the BITMAPS directory directly off of the C:\ directory and adding the full path in the picture control objects that where having the problems.  I will try Phil's solution at the earliest opportunity, but it may be a while as I am in the midst of a major CM deployment.  Thank you very much for your suggestions.
