Icon not showing in CStatic Control
-
Hi, I am programming a custom error dialog box with two three CStatic Controls. The first is a title, the second is a message and the third is a picture box set to be a icon. The first two are okay. The third is really bugging me! I've created a variable for the CStatic from the Variable Wizard called m_Icon and then in Init_Dialg I set it to a standard Icon using this:
m_Icon.SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardIcon(IDI_EXCLAMATION));I have also tried creating an Icon using HICON and setting the control to the HICON and using the methodm_Icon.SetIcon(::LoadIcon(IDI_EXCLAMATION));They all compile fine. But when i the app runs, i dont see the Icon. The Controls Visability is set to TRUE. Where have I gone wrong and how can I correct this? Many Thanks Tom. P.S Personally creating Custom Error Dialogs is a pain, and I am looking forward to seeing the Windows Vista TaskDialog!! :cool: ;) -- modified at 16:09 Sunday 22nd January, 2006 -

Use theMAKEINTRESOURCEmacro to convert IDI_EXCLAMATION to anLPCTSTR.m_Icon.SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardIcon(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_EXCLAMATION));
::LoadIcontakes two parameters, the first of which is the handle to the applications's instance, orNULLif loading standard icons. I am surprised the code even compiled.

Actually,
IDI_EXCLAMATIONis defined inwinuser.husingMAKEINTRESOURCE(), so it's not needed here.Ryan
