Background Image?

[mustafa06]

How ı can change project background on preload event code ?

( For example : Inifile....... [Dat] Image = C:\1.bmp )

how ı set it ?

[ShadowUK]

Use a Page.SetProperties to change BackgroundImage to another string, Like doing

Page.SetProperties("Page2", {BackgroundImage = INIFile.GetValue("C://Ini.ini", "Background", "ImagePage2")});

not too sure, adapt that.

or use an image as the bottom object, then use the normal AMS actions to load the image.

Set its enabled property to false for best results.

I was thinking that as well.

It's not working for me

Hello,

I tried to SetProperties but it's not working. My background is white. The code of my function is :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
function ChangeBackground ()
-- Get back the current page
curpage = Application.GetCurrentPage();
-- Get Back Background Info
result = INIFile.GetValue (_SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\setup.ini", "Main", "Background");
if result ~= "" then
-- Create a table containing the properties to set for the page.
tbPageProperties = {};
tbPageProperties.BackgroundType = BG_IMAGE;
tbPageProperties.ImageFilename = result;
tbPageProperties.ImageStretchMode = BG_IMG_FITPAGE;
-- Set the page's properties.
Application.SetPageProperties(curpage, tbPageProperties);
end
end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This function is launch OnPreload of each pages.

Do you know why it's not working? What is wrong in my script?

Regards

What do you mean by .. ?

GBE, when something doesn't work as expected, the first thing I would do is try to include an error test after each function call, and see what it returns. Especially after Application.SetPageProperties(), in your case.

-- Test for error
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~= 0) then
    Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
end

I already made it but nothing appear. :-(

dose your page already have a background image, if not you need to set the background type as well

function ChangeBackground ()
	-- Get back the current page
	curpage = Application.GetCurrentPage();
	-- Get Back Background Info
	result = INIFile.GetValue (_SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\setup.ini", "Main", "Background");
	if result ~= "" then
		-- Create a table containing the properties to set for the page.
		tbPageProperties = {};
		tbPageProperties.BackgroundType = BG_IMAGE;
		tbPageProperties.ImageFilename = result;
		tbPageProperties.ImageStretchMode = BG_IMG_FITPAGE;
		[COLOR="Red"]tbPageProperties.BackgroundType = BG_IMAGE;[/COLOR]
		-- Set the page's properties.
		Application.SetPageProperties(curpage, tbPageProperties);
	end
end

if that still dose not work, submit a support ticket as i seem to remember there being some problem with this function, but i can not remember the outcome

But in my code I already set the background type. Is the order important?
