[Dev-C++] Adding icons to dialog boxes

[loll <cp...@th...>]

Hi,

Im trying to add an icon to a dialog box. As you can probably tell I am new 
to all this.

When Dev c++ starts the project it includes an icon in the resource file.
I have been able to make a dialog box work with text and edit boxes etc. 
however each time I try to add an icon to the dialog box in the resource 
editor it refuses to compile the program.

At the top of the resource file the line:
500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE 
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"


the dialog code in the resource looks like:

105 DIALOG 70, 0, 110, 70
STYLE WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME
CAPTION "About"
FONT 12,"arialnb.ttf"
BEGIN
ICON "myicon" 500, 30, 30
PUSHBUTTON "OK", ID_CANCEL, 40, 50, 20, 10
END

The code works fine without the ICON command in the dialog, but with it in 
there like that it wont compile.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks

Lawrence
