Q: Icon refresh behavior?

[Mark Jones]

Hi, I'm working on a "dialog as main" project and added an icon to it:

    LOCAL   wc:WNDCLASSEX

    .BREAK .if !eax
        invoke TranslateMessage,addr msg

    .endw
    mov     eax,msg.wParam
    ret
WinMain endp

5 icon discardable "Res/myicon.ico"


It compiles and operates as expected. Except, if you edit the icon file and recompile, the new icon is not loaded. I have to comment out the .RC line, recompile, remove the comment, and compile again to load the edited icon. Is this a limitation of the microsoft tools or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. :)

Hi

Recompiling resources before building should be enough.

Oh I see, "GO" doesn't rebuild the resources. Gotcha! :U

[KetilO]

Go does rebuild resources if any dialog, menu or rc file is changed.

Err that's what I meant. I think I drank too much last night... :dazzled: :bg
