| Mephisto | How would you get a handle to an icon so you can use it in the SendMessage() function set an icon on a console application? | September 26, 2004, 11:10 PM |

| Mephisto | That's for getting an icon from the window associated with it isn't it? I need a method for getting a handle to an icon via the file name if this is possible. | September 27, 2004, 12:18 AM |
| dRAgoN | [code]HICON hIcon = ExtractIcon((HINSTANCE)GetModuleHandle(NULL),(char*)"filepath\icofile.ico",0);[/code] Would this be what you want? | September 27, 2004, 1:33 AM |

[/quote] I already tried using that function earlier. It needs to be the same type as the SetMessage function; typecasting doesn't seem to work. Lookup WM_SETICON, and maybe you can tell me from looking at the required arguments. | September 27, 2004, 3:20 AM |
| Eibro | Use LoadIcon if the icon is compiled into your executable. | September 27, 2004, 11:47 AM |
