make custom picture button

[naderus]

Hello,
I want to us a picture button that eacth time user press it
the picture of it change form one state to another state.
for this I use following code that work correctlly:

 CVICALLBACK PoloCB (...)                       
{                                                                                  
   switch (event)                                                                
   {                                                                             
      case EVENT_COMMIT:                                                        
                                                                                  
      GetFullPathFromProject ("", projectpath);                             
                                                                                  
      if(Cooker == 0)                                                       
      {                                                                     
 Cooker = 1;                                                       
 MakePathname (projectpath, "ON.bmp", fullpath);            
 SetCtrlAttribute (Panel,PANEL_POLO,ATTR_IMAGE_FILE,fullpath);                                      
      }                                                                     
      else                                                                  
      {                                                                     
 Cooker = 0;                                                       
 MakePathname (projectpath, "OFF.bmp", fullpath);           
 SetCtrlAttribute (Panel,PANEL_POLO,ATTR_IMAGE_FILE,fullpath);                                
      }                                                                      
      break;                                                                
   }                                                                             
}                                                                                 
But problem is with this method, everyone can see these bmp file in my project
dir and use them and loading file form hard is time consuming. I want to load this image in the "edit picture button" menu
so the picture is embedded in the source code.But it'snot possible to define
image for each state in the "edit picture button".
I also try to use two picture in the same position
and visible/unvisible them but with this method should also use two
fuction call(beacuse the one vissible is active button) that this is not
good and my code get really complex.(I have a lot of these kind button in
 my project)
In labview I can use simple button and change it's images with my images.
Is it possible to do that in labwindows?

I think you can achieve what you want if you replace your Picture Button control with a Picture Ring.

Check out the picture sample project in the samples\userint folder.

Thanks for your solution, the ring picture is what I want but it doesn't look like the a button.

I need a button with picture on it that each time use press it the icon change.

[naderus]

is it possible to use "edit custom control" for creating a new button with properties that I needed?

[naderus]

Finally I solve the problem,

I put a picture ring in my panel with hidden attribute and load all of my picture to it.

in my begining of program use GetCtrlBitmap to variables.

and use these variables as refrences to bitmap with SetCtrlBitmap.

something like this:

int CVICALLBACK PoloCB (int panel, int control, int event,
  void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
{
 static Cooker = 0;
 
 switch (event)
 {
  case EVENT_COMMIT:

   SetCtrlBitmap (panel, MAINPANEL_POLO, 0, (Cooker) ? BMP_CookerOFF : BMP_CookerON);
   Cooker ^= 1;
   break;
 }
 return 0;
}
