create and use icons with resources

(1/2) > >>

MoonKid:
I have never worked with rc-files.

I just want to link (pack) my ico-files into the binary and use them then. How can I include a ico-file in the rc-file and reference it in my application?

Biplab:
Create a resource file, e.g., resource.rc and add it to your project.

If you want to add an Icon for your application, then add a line to the resource file similar to the following.

--- Code: ---aMAIN ICON "<Path_To_Your_Icon>/<Icon_File_Name>.ico"
--- End code ---

Now compile your project and your application will have the icon You've specified.

Biplab

Ok, but how can I adress it in my code?
For example:

How can I create a wxIcon object?

Create a sample wxWidgets Project using Wizard of C::B and look into app.cpp file and resource.rc file. You'll understand how it can be implemented. :)

Hm... So easy! ;)

I am not sure If I understand the wx-doc right. Is it only under windows and os2 possible to use resources?
How can I pack ico-files to my binary in unix/linux or mac os x applications?
