Re: [Dev-C++] Re: Icons

[Elias P. <Eli...@ao...>]

  im trying to put one in the dialog window somewhere:

  this code: ICON  "myIcon",500,20,10,20,20,SS_SUNKEN | WS_BORDER

  brings up a bordered area for the icon but no icon inside it

  500 is the resouce ID of the icon defined at the top of the resouce =
file:

  500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE =
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"

It works if you replace 500 with a string.
For example, i just tried this:

// replaced 500 with myicon
myicon ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE =
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"

and then later

// the first parameter is the name of the icon resource, as above
// the second parameter can be set to any ID, I set it to -1
// width, height and style are ignored for ICON controls
ICON  "myicon",-1,20,10

I found this by reading the msdn docs about resource scripts, if you =
didn't know about them, maybe they can be helpful to you.

c_35rn.htm

I didn't see any info about using numbers instead of strings, but it's =
probably not that important to use a number.

hope this helps,
