Bitmap size in PB toolbar

Bitmap size in PB toolbar

Question:
How can I use a bitmap of 32X32 size for my toolbar icons? Does PB5.0 support this or is it necessary to shrink them to 16X16.

Answer:
The bitmap size for PB5 is 16 wide and 15 high, a strange size. From what Ive seen of PB6, they have fixed it to be 16/16. To make your 32/32 bitmap display on the toolbar you will have to resize the image using a graphic editing tool. PowerBuilder ships with such a tool called Watcom Image Editor. You should be able to use that to do what you want.
