Loading multiple icons

[RonShortt]

I am loading a number of SVG icon files and wondered if there was a way to embed them in the C++ source code so that I don't need to include the files with the executable. LoadIcon only accepts a file name or Stream as the icon source.

SVG files are XML vector files, so they can easily be stored in source code. The default SVG icons the interface uses are stored and loaded like this:

auto buffer = CreateBuffer();
auto stream = CreateBufferStream(buffer);
		
String s = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?> <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 16.0.3, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) --> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd\"> <svg version=\"1.1\" id=\"Layer_1\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" enable-root=\"new 0 0 16 16\" xml:space=\"preserve\"> <polygon fill=\"#FFFFFF\" points=\"14.223,5.228 12.689,3.694 6.333,10.051 3.31,7.027 1.777,8.561 6.319,13.102 6.333,13.088 6.348,13.102 \"/> </svg>";

buffer->Resize(s.length() + 1);
buffer->PokeString(0,s);

auto icon_button_checkmark = LoadIcon(stream);

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much! I am really enjoying programming with this package.
