Import wxFormBuilder Load From Resource

Open KeyWorksRW opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Description:

If we can find the resource file, we can then process it and convert any images into an Embed image type.

All three of the new languages support copying the original art to the language's output directory. While I don't think anyone using a resource file for images will be generating python, lua or php code, it would make sense to do this work for the 1.1 release. With the generation of the 3 additional languages, we're likely to get more people switching from wxFormBuilder to wxUiEditor, and that makes importing wxFormBuilder projects more important.

While copying art files was under consideration, it was dropped in favor of embedding since wxPython and C++ both support it. Support for wxLua and wxPHP was dropped, so we only need to deal with these two languages that both support embedding. While the ability to convert from a resource file to an embedded image would definitely be useful, it can wait until after the 1.1 release.
