Use Windows command bar icon (FaceID) on dialog?
-
Hi all, I am wondering if there is a way to use FaceID icon to a dialog box? I tried to do the following in my dialog's
OnInitDialog():HICON hIcon = LoadIcon(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(540));
this->SetIcon(hIcon, FALSE);"540" is FaceID number of a commandbar button icon. Apparently it did not work as the ID did not point to the wanted resource in the dialog project. Any help would be really great. Thanks!

What does
LoadIcon()return? Have you tried makinghIcona member variable instead? What happens if you use:hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(540);

Dear DavidCrow, Thanks for the reply.
LoadIcon()returnsNULL. I should give more details about my project. The dialog is ATL-based class which is to be brought up viaDoModal(). A window-based parent may decide to bring up the dialog at any time. Since the dialog is ATL based (derived fromCAxDialogImplclass). The way I use to callLoadIconin the dialog'sOnInitDialog()is in fact:HICON hIcon = LoadIcon((HINSTANCE)GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINRESOURCE(540));
if (NULL != hIcon)
this->SetIcon(hIcon);I get
hIconisNULLin return. Am I doing something incorrectly here? Thanks! -

Are you calling
GetLastError()to find out why?"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

Yes, the return code is
1813(The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file). Perhaps the resource just isn't available for access without explicitly loading from the actual resource DLL? Thanks for the help anyway :)J.B. wrote:

Where else would it come from? :rolleyes:

That's exactly right. I naively thought it is as that's what I was able to do with Visual Studio Automation and Extensibility methods. I simply looked up the face ID and specified it in a method, say
AddCommandBar2()(Commands ojbect, EnvDTE namespace). And the icon I picked would appear accordingly. I initially hoped the FaceID resource is somehow accessible globally. This is embarassing :^) Thanks for the help to clearing this out :-D Reference: FaceID Browser[^]
