It is possible but not simple. If you don't want them to be buttons, just omit BUTTON from the .res file:

Omg.. thank you for that. This is quite a lot to just display an image :) And i was planing to add a picture to all parameters because they are hard to describe by words.
Lets see if i can get that to work...
kind regards,
ello
edit: just wanted to say thank you.. i got it working :)

just one more question: how can i use a bitmap which contains a bunch of symbols and adress them via an offset? somehow like cinema does it with its interface icons?
thanks for any input..
cheers,
