winge,

Code Select Expand


            invoke LoadIcon,NULL,IDI_WINLOGO
            mov note.hIcon,eax

The above code is loading a windows default icon.  You need to define your properly sized icon as a resource in the .rc file you will create.  Then use LoadIcon to get its handle and copy it into the structure for use.

hth,
Paul

hi Paul,

thx for your reply! could you show me an example of "define a properly sized icon as a resource in the .rc file" on <tute23> please? i tried an hour on this 2 line, still can't figure out how to do it.... it seemed if i changed the line, there will be no icon shown amymore when i minimized the program on tray  :red

Get your .ico file..
Put a line in your .rc file to include that icon:  100 ICON "youricon.ico"
Then in the code: "invoke LoadIcon,hInst,100" to load the icon, and then just save its handle as normal :wink

That wasn't 'your' code, it was Iczelions :bdg
Anyway, the reason you're having trouble with it is because the icon included with it actually contains multiple icon images.

Try this one instead.. (attachment)
