Re: [Dev-C++] Application Icon

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It starts with an identifier. A in this case is a name - somewhere else
that name 'A' is probably mapped to a number. It is possible to have
resources with text names but it is _very_ seldom used because of all
problems with tools etc...

MOVEABLE means that on older platforms (Win16) the memory allocated for
the icon may move around in the computer if Win3.1 needs to compact
available memory.

LOADONCALL means that all info in the resource file must not be loaded at
the same time. It is enough for the OS to load the icon from the exe file
when it is needed.

DISCARDABLE means that if the computer have little memory, the memory
allocated for the icon may be reclaimed. You may either run the
application without an icon if out of resources, or it may be loaded again
later.
