[antrobs]

Does someone know how to used RGN file in coding in MASM? Need some help here mates......

Check out lena's 36th tut. It will tell you everything you need.

Maybe Goppit's tutorial about MASM coding will help you, it has that subject and a source is included too it a nice tutorial check it i think Teddy published it here in the forum & Loki it right Lena had a source in here tutorial that shows it's usage

so check it out too it would be usefull

Ya! i know those 2 stuff exist but, i'm sorry for not elaborating my problem properly....What i want is to make my About dialog with an RGN file too...

(code is from goppits' tut and adding some code to it)

For example:

#define IDD_DLG1001 1001
#define IDC_BUTTON1002 1002
#define IDD_DLG1003 1003
#define IDC_BUTTON1004 10042001 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "main.bmp"
2002 RCDATA DISCARDABLE "mainregion.rgn"
2003 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "about.bmp"
2004 RCDATA DISCARDABLE "aboutregion.rgn"IDD_DLG1001 DIALOGEX 0,0,200,186
FONT 8,"MS Sans Serif"
STYLE 0x90000800
EXSTYLE 0x00000000
BEGIN
	CONTROL "?",IDC_BUTTON1002,"Button",0x50010000,163,132,10,10,0x00000000
END
IDD_DLG1003 DIALOGEX 0,0,100,186
FONT 8,"MS Sans Serif"
STYLE 0x90000800
EXSTYLE 0x00000000
BEGIN
	CONTROL "?",IDC_BUTTON1004,"Button",0x50010000,163,132,10,10,0x00000000
END

MY MAIN PROCEDURE:

DlgProc proc hWnd:HWND, uMsg:UINT, wParam:WPARAM, lParam:LPARAM 
	.if uMsg == WM_INITDIALOG
		invoke SetWindowPos,hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOACTIVATE + SWP_NOMOVE + SWP_NOSIZE
		invoke LoadBitmap,hInstance,2001		  
		invoke CreatePatternBrush,eax
		mov brush, eax
		invoke FindResource,hInstance,2002,RT_RCDATA
		mov hResInfo,eax
		invoke LoadResource,hInstance,hResInfo
		mov hResData, eax
		invoke SizeofResource,hInstance,hResInfo
		mov	sizeRsrc,eax
		invoke LockResource,hResData
		mov pRsrc, eax
		invoke ExtCreateRegion,NULL,sizeRsrc,pRsrc
		invoke SetWindowRgn,hWnd,eax,TRUE
	.elseif uMsg==WM_CTLCOLORDLG
		mov eax, brush
		ret		
	.elseif uMsg==WM_COMMAND
		mov eax,wParam
		.if eax==1002 
			invoke DialogBoxParam, hInstance, 1003, NULL, addr AbtProc, NULL 
		.endif
	.elseif uMsg==WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK
		invoke SendMessage,hWnd,WM_CLOSE,0,0
	.elseif uMsg==WM_LBUTTONDOWN							
		invoke SendMessage,hWnd,WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN,HTCAPTION,lParam
	.elseif	uMsg == WM_CLOSE
		invoke DeleteObject,brush
		invoke EndDialog, hWnd, 0
	.endif 
	xor	eax,eax
	ret 
DlgProc endp

MY ABOUT:

AbtProc proc hWnd:HWND, uMsg:UINT, wParam:WPARAM, lParam:LPARAM 
	.if uMsg == WM_INITDIALOG
		invoke SetWindowPos,hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOACTIVATE + SWP_NOMOVE + SWP_NOSIZE
		invoke LoadBitmap,hInstance,2003		  
		invoke CreatePatternBrush,eax
		mov brush, eax
		invoke FindResource,hInstance,2004,RT_RCDATA
		mov hResInfo,eax
		invoke LoadResource,hInstance,hResInfo
		mov hResData, eax
		invoke SizeofResource,hInstance,hResInfo
		mov	sizeRsrc,eax
		invoke LockResource,hResData
		mov pRsrc, eax
		invoke ExtCreateRegion,NULL,sizeRsrc,pRsrc
		invoke SetWindowRgn,hWnd,eax,TRUE
	.elseif uMsg==WM_CTLCOLORDLG
		mov eax, brush
		ret		
	.elseif	uMsg == WM_CLOSE
		invoke DeleteObject,brush
		invoke EndDialog, hWnd, 0
	.endif 
	xor	eax,eax
	ret 
AbtProc endp

Does this sample do the trick or there's some better other ways to do it....

P.S.>Just Practicing and learning coding in MASM

Your code looks fine. You've declared the two regions and the bitmaps and loaded them as diaglogs.

Nothing wrong there that I can see (although I've not tried to compile it).

Is it not working for you, or were you just wondering if there was a quicker way?

I think is the second thing...(wondering if there was a quicker way) or some sort of optimization thing...
