[Gambas-user] How to program a restart function?

[jbskaggs]

Thanks to both of you for that advice.  I think I may have asked the wrong
question.

I got the restart to work (thanks) when I was still running i the console. 
BUt when I compiled to .exe my skinning failed. Or rather when I made the
program exe then the skinning only partially worked- the pictures in
picturebox and the images (or pictures) in Menus did not update when the
program restarts.  It updated all my sounds, and my drawingarea images but
nothing else when in exe.

How do I make the program  update those files?  

Currently the way I am doing it is I have different theme dir's in my
relative path.  The program will then delete the grphx and sound files and
replace them with the new files from the theme directory. (same files names
diff content)

here is the code to do so (Remember I am a novice)

PUBLIC SUB B2cute_Click()
  'copy portrait gifs
  textlabel1.Show
  bcloseme.Hide
  bexit.Hide
  b2cute.hide
  picturebox2.Hide
  bfantasy.Hide

  
KILL application.path & "/0.gif"  
COPY application.path & "/themes/2cute/grfx/0.gif"  TO application.path &
"/0.gif"
WAIT 0.5

REPEAT
WAIT 0.1
fff=fff+1
textlabel1.Text=application.path & "/themes/2cute/grfx/"& fff &".gif"
 KILL application.path & "/" & fff & ".gif"
 COPY application.path & "/themes/2cute/grfx/"& fff &".gif"  TO
application.path & "/"& fff &".gif"
UNTIL fff=44


'copy icons
fff=0
REPEAT
WAIT 0.1
fff=fff+1
textlabel1.Text=application.path & "/themes/2cute/icons/"& fff &".png"
 KILL application.path & "/"& fff &".png"
 COPY application.path & "/themes/2cute/icons/"& fff &".png"  TO
application.path & "/"& fff &".png"
UNTIL fff=16

'COPY music
textlabel1.Text=application.path & "/themes/2cute/grfx/10.mp3"
 KILL application.path & "/10.mp3"
 COPY application.path & "/themes/2cute/music/10.mp3"  TO application.path &
"/10.mp3"

' sounds
textlabel2.Show
button1.Show
textlabel1.Text="All finished with no errors."
END




And I thought they would load these new images but it did not reload them
all.

So what do I need to do to get the controls to reload the files?

Thanks
