xpm bitmap on mac os

[rkubrick]

I can't load an xpm icon into a bitmap on Mac:

Code: Select all

 wxBitmap bitmap(wxBITMAP(MyIcon));
  if( bitmap.Ok() ) {
    wxSplashScreen* pSplash = new wxSplashScreen(bitmap, wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN|wxSPLASH_TIMEOUT, 
                                                 10000, this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(500, 500), 
                                                 wxSIMPLE_BORDER|wxSTAY_ON_TOP);
    wxGetApp().Yield();
  } else
    _pAboutDialog->Show(true);

bitmap.Ok() always returns false. The code compiles fine.

What is 'MyIcon' ?
Did you try with another format (e.g. png) then does it work?

[rkubrick]

I'd like to use the XPM format because it stores the icon in memory and I don't need to carry around a file when I dist the application.

You can embed PNGs in your source code using bin2c. It gives you the same advantages as XPMs but nicer looking images.
