Problem with active/passiv icons

[Spudnik]

I got a problem with active/passive icons. If i create a new item and give this item a custom icon, it wont show the passive icon when needed. Although i have imported both the active and passive icon, it will show a green square instead of the icon if i for example enter the menu . Can anybody explain to me how to tell WE that the passive icon belongs to this item too, because u can only set the active icon in the object editor.

Are you sure you've specified the right paths in the Import Manager?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should go to the Import Manager, go to your icon, double click and use "Custom path". Then change the path to

ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNTheIconName.blp
ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtonsDisabled\DISBTNThePassiveIconName.blp

this way, wc3 will know which passive icon fits with the active icon.

So you can do this with every icon and it will autoimatically detect witch one is the right passiv one for eac active one?!

I have a question on that topic, if you have already imported it, could you just make the passing custom path without any directory? Just like
BTNIcon.blp
DISBTNIcon.blp

Or would I have to make them like they are supposed to? =/

Oh, and yea, it's auto =). Here look at this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV2NtWJ8dz0
