You have to draw a cicn to a GWorld by hand. This is exactly what I am trying to do now and I am getting nowhere fast. All ya'll will see a post in a day or two from me with some detailed questions that I expect only Rick or Mars can answer. For the record, I can draw the cicn where it needs to go, but the cicn structure is very spread out and difficult to parse. My offsets are always wrong and I have to cheat and use Resourcer to find the Pixmap past _IconData.....I get all the way to the Color table just past the mask and bitmaps, but parsing through the color table (very important for correct colors when trying to draw) seems impossible.....anyone know how to do it? Surely someone here has made an Icon editor at some time long past? My eventual goal is to skip the CTab and get the PixMap data and just draw the damn thing (this part works, its finding the length of the CTab, so I can skip it). If any of that made sense, please help! I'll post the FN when I get back. Time to break out the IM:5's. I challenge anyone to draw a cicn into a GWorld! First one there wins a free chocalate glazed donut and a large coffee! Sorry, I stayed up too late working on this and it may be affecting me. -Derek ---------------- www2.hawaii.edu/~dereksmi ----------------
