Not certain but I think the wizzards work differrent in they need the bitmaps in a certain place. Looking at ALL the wizards in mach3 the wizard bitmaps are with the wizard DIR

c:\mach3\addons\Wizardname\Bitmaps

Testing here the only way I can get it to act that way is IF the image is NOT where it is suppose to be. In mach the imabe will be missing BUT the function will still work IF you press the spot where the Button Was placed.

That is correct. That is my primary drive where windoze is installed. c: is for storage only and backup copies of certian things.

I do have the bitmap in a subfolder of the wizard.

All the other wizards and mach have buttons similar and they show up.

I tried to change the path to the bitmap and i got this error.

Image path can only be changed, if no setfile data is loaded.

Does that mean anything to you?

Steve the only thing I can suggest is that it MAY be a permissions thing where MACH3 does not have permissions to use that directory where the images are stored???.

THAT IS a big problem in Vista. May want to try running MACH  as ADMIN to see if it makes a difference.

AND double triple check the path in MACHSCREEN for the button. Or try moving it to a different directory and path???

SAY something like
G:\Mach3\TurnAddons\PenMaker\Bitmaps\PenStopButton.bmp

If it helps i'm running XP

the "Image path can only be changed, if no setfile data is loaded." error is a machscreen error.

Good call!  I changed my sub folder name from "images" to "Bitmaps" and deleted the path in machscreen and I can now see the button when running in mach.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The folder name must always be \Bitmaps\ for all screens and wizards.
