Button Icon IDs

[Monte Goulding]

Use the resolve command. I implemented this to do exactly what you want: get the long id of the image that is used on an icon on a given button. You have to specify the button because that's what the icon is resolved relative to. It uses the same code the engine does to find the icon btw.

Cheers

Monte
