?- Specific icon on compile

[Haste]

I am hoping that someone could direct me with information to compiling masm source to an executable and having a different icon.. Other than the standard one. For example, if I wanted one of my programs to have custom icon I made without the use of external programs.

hi Haste, welcome on board  :U
to insert some icon, first you must to define icon in rsrc.rc file

EDIT:
for example:

Code Select Expand

500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "file.ico"

Hi haste,

Welcome on board. trodon has pointed you in the right direction.

1. Create an icon.

2. Add it into a RC script as trodon showed you.

3. Compile it with RC.EXE into a RES file.

4. Link it into your executable.

5. Use LoadIcon() or similar to access the icon to get its handle.

6. Display the icon by a variety of diferent API calls.

For what it is worth department:

Explorer ( in file view ) will use icon designation 1 as a programs default icon, after that, the first available icon.

Code Select Expand

1 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "Main.ICO"
