ive done several searches and looked at a few examples but still cant find an answer to this question.

is it possible to pull a spell icon out of the spell taga and display it in a ui window as a lable. im trying to avoid adding another taga to the ui im moding and was trying to figure out how.

if it is possible please paste some code so i can see how it looks

I'm not certain what you mean by "Use a spell gem as a label". Can you explain in more detail what you mean? The best answer I could come up with to put a spell gem into another window is to load the texture out of the correct .tga file and use that texture as a Ui2dAnimation in your new screen. Take a look at the EQ_SpellCastWindow.xml to get a feel for what's going on there, and be sure to look into the EQ_Animations.xml to understand what the base animation classes for A_SpellGemholder and A_SpellGemBackground are actually doing.

Yes you can youngbull.

<Ui2DAnimation item = "B_CSPW_SpellBook_Btn">
<Frames>
<Texture>gemicons02.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>48</X>
<Y>96</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>24</CX>
<CY>24</CY>
</Size>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>

for example pulls out a certain spell icon that I use as a sort of background for my spellbook button.

P.S. - If you want a full size spell use textures spells01.tga - spells05.tga and their height and width is 40.
