How to Override DEFAULT FiveWin ICON ?

[shri_fwh]

Dear All ,

After Application Built the app.EXE is executing and on the Windows Status BAR the Default FiveWIN ICON is showing.

Have tried below code to use app ICON for the main window but it does not get override the default FiveWin.ICO

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   DEFINE ICON oICon RESOURCE "app_icon"

   DEFINE WINDOW oApp:oWnd STYLE WS_POPUP COLOR CLR_BLACK, c_MWIN_BCK_CLR ICON oICon
 
 

Am I doing right ? Please guide me.

Thanks
Shridhar

include in your rc file ( resource with name AppIcon )

AppIcon ICON DISCARDABLE ".\MyIcono.ico"

in your application

DEFINE ICON oIcon RESOURCE "AppIcon"

Set icon to windows object

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

      oWnd:SetIcon( oIcon )

Try with correct path and quotes

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

AppIcon   ICON DISCARDABLE ".\MyIcono.ico"

Dear Sir ,

tried below code but no success...!

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

AppIcon   ICON DISCARDABLE   "C:\VIMDEV32\VIMFA32\RES\app.ico"

 

by the way below resources are compiling successfully without using quote.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

save1    10 .\icon\save1.png
save2    10 save2.png
