Default document icon

[Jose Luis Sogorb]

I've made an application and I cannot change the icon created when the program saves a file. I have edited the icon (IDR_...TYPE) in the resources, change it and recompiled it, but the program always creates the default doc icon. What could be the problem?

I think you not only have to edit the resources, but also you need to define and initialize in the "OnDraw" function.

Do you mean the icon seen from Explorer, or when the DOC is open in the App? 1. From Explorer - You have to create an association between your App and the file type 2. In your App - Just create a new icon, and name it whatever the icon file is named in your App/Res directory. Overwrite that icon with the new one, and it will display properly.
