im trying to put one in the dialog window somewhere:

this code: ICON  "myIcon",500,20,10,20,20,SS_SUNKEN | WS_BORDER

brings up a bordered area for the icon but no icon inside it

500 is the resouce ID of the icon defined at the top of the resouce file:

500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE 
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"

Thanks

Hi all,
 My name is  Joe and I=92m new to C++ and this forum.
I have just sent this E mail to check address and say HLO.
Thanks Joe.

Hi everybody !
I have winME and problems with Dev-c++ 4 and 4.01 :
with dev c++ 4, i very often had an out of memory error i could not exit 
from, now that's the same but with an 'illegal pointer operation'. How 
could I avoid this since when it occurs, i can't save nor exit from dev c++ 
which makes me VERY angry. Thank you

    Are you trying to put the icon in the title bar or just load one to =
put somewhere inside the dialog box?

  Subject: [Dev-C++] Adding icons to dialog boxes


  Hi,

  Im trying to add an icon to a dialog box. As you can probably tell I =
am new=20
  to all this.

  When Dev c++ starts the project it includes an icon in the resource =
file.
  I have been able to make a dialog box work with text and edit boxes =
etc.=20
  however each time I try to add an icon to the dialog box in the =
resource=20
  editor it refuses to compile the program.

  At the top of the resource file the line:
  500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE=20
  "C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"


  the dialog code in the resource looks like:

  105 DIALOG 70, 0, 110, 70
  STYLE WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME
  CAPTION "About"
  FONT 12,"arialnb.ttf"
  BEGIN
  ICON "myicon" 500, 30, 30
  PUSHBUTTON "OK", ID_CANCEL, 40, 50, 20, 10
  END

  The code works fine without the ICON command in the dialog, but with =
it in=20
  there like that it wont compile.

  Can anyone help me here?

  Thanks

  Lawrence

Well, I must say, Dev-C++ is the best IDE I have ever used to code. I would
reccomend you use it, it is nice, simple, and still has plenty of features!

Eww.. Waste of CPU time. I suggest using the Win32 API Sleep or _sleep 
functions instead. The reason is that your above delay function is 
constantly working the CPU as it goes through the loop. The Sleep or_sleep 
functions on the otherhand will actually halt the program until the set 
amount of time has passed.

Spiderman,

You seem pretty sharp with this stuff and I'm new to C++.  I have worked 
some with resource files (primarily modifying other peoples resource 
files) and I was wondering where I might find a good document on the 
options and syntax for creating a resource file.  I have made some pretty 
good guesses so far but would like a little bit more how-to knowledge.

Do you know of anything like that?

Hi,

Im trying to add an icon to a dialog box. As you can probably tell I am new 
to all this.

When Dev c++ starts the project it includes an icon in the resource file.
I have been able to make a dialog box work with text and edit boxes etc. 
however each time I try to add an icon to the dialog box in the resource 
editor it refuses to compile the program.

At the top of the resource file the line:
500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE 
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"


the dialog code in the resource looks like:

105 DIALOG 70, 0, 110, 70
STYLE WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME
CAPTION "About"
FONT 12,"arialnb.ttf"
BEGIN
ICON "myicon" 500, 30, 30
PUSHBUTTON "OK", ID_CANCEL, 40, 50, 20, 10
END

The code works fine without the ICON command in the dialog, but with it in 
there like that it wont compile.

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks

Lawrence

Ian,

Hi. I dont think dev-c++ has a delay command so I wrote my own, here is the
code:

#include <ctime>

void delay(int seconds)
{
    clock_t current, end;

    current = clock();
    end = current + CLOCKS_PER_SEC * seconds;

    while(current < end)
        current = clock();        // loop while current not equal end
}

Hope this helps! :)

Chris.

Let's see if I find something needful :-)

Thanks for all the help.  I finally got the program to compile.  And I 
learned of a few quirks in DOS that I didn't know about before.  I did have 
to change to the forward slash in my path to get it to work.  This site is 
a great resource in itself because knowledge is shared.

Richard P. Evans

    The \\ is the way you would escape a backslash in C/C++ it's similar =
to doing \n for newline. The others are right you can also use a forward =
slash if you prefer. Dev-C_~1 is the DOS name for Dev C++, see for =
yourself go to a DOS box and type in cd c:\ and then dir you'll see that =
the Dev directory will be named Dev-C_~1, that's just the way crazy old =
DOS handles things :)

The first one doesn't work because the default directory is not the current
directory in Dev-C++ so you'll have to use absolute paths.

The second one doesn't work because you need to use forward slash (/) as
directory seperator - backslash does not work.
Try:

ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE
"C:/Dev-C++/Projects/Generic/generic.ico"
ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE
"C:/Dev-C++/Projects/Generic/rs.ico"

Okay, here's my problem again.  I am using the latest version of Dev-C++,
4.01, and I went to Project Options and changed the resource to be loaded to
C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\Generic.rc.  I did a Makefile and then tried to
compile.  Below is what is in Generic.rc to load the icons which are in the
same directory.


ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE     "generic.ico"
ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE     "rs.ico"

The compiling stops and I get the following message:

C:\DEV-C_~1\BIN\windres: can't open icon file `generic.ico': No such file or
directory


To get around this I then put in the full path as shown below and tried
again (with a new Makefile):

ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE

ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE

Again it stopped compiling but this time I got the messages below.  What am
I doing wrong?  This is 
the logical solution suggested by one correspondent but as you can see,
logical as it is, it didn't work.

Okay, here's my problem again.  I am using the latest version of Dev-C++, 
4.01, and I went to Project Options and changed the resource to be loaded 
to C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\Generic.rc.  I did a Makefile and then tried 
to compile.  Below is what is in Generic.rc to load the icons which are in 
the same directory.


ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE     "generic.ico"
ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE     "rs.ico"

The compiling stops and I get the following message:

C:\DEV-C_~1\BIN\windres: can't open icon file `generic.ico': No such file 
or directory


To get around this I then put in the full path as shown below and tried 
again (with a new Makefile):

ID_MAIN                 ICON    DISCARDABLE 
"C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\generic.ico"
ID_RS                   ICON    DISCARDABLE 
"C:\Dev-C++\Projects\Generic\rs.ico"

Again it stopped compiling but this time I got the messages below.  What am 
I doing wrong?  This is
the logical solution suggested by one correspondent but as you can see, 
logical as it is, it didn't work.
