Did you mean Icon from resource, be more specific!
If it's so,the you have to do the next one:
in the rc:
500 ICON DISCARDABLE "example.ico"
in the source:
.IF uMsg == WM_CREATE
invoke LoadIcon,hInstance,500
invoke SendMessage,hWin,WM_SETICON,ICON_BIG,eax
...
And it will appear in the both - taskbar and alt-tab menu!
thanks for that how can i add a system menu to it for when right clicked on the start menu also the icon doesnt show up on the taskbar just alt tab
Ok , if you mean a right click popup-men (it does not a "system menu") and if i understand everything correctly,
the example below is what you need, take some time to study the code - that's your job now, that's why i didn't
put any comments it's very simple infact. Take a look to the Iszelion's examples and the help in masm32 package as well.
Bye for now! :U

thats good but i meant when u right click on the taskbar.
:) ok. If the style of the window is only WS_POPUP you cannot have mini/maximize menu in the taskbar. The style have to be WS_POPUPWINDOW,then will appear. You have to do a small corection of the bitmap image after that kind of style change.
Here it is:

tnx for the example there ive learned alot from it. Just out of curiodity how did u get the messagebox to open as a child ie nothing shows up on the taskbar when open and the window behind is disabled until cliking ok on the messagebox.
How did you do this?
When compile i get a error
Also i transferred your code to a dialog program
Now when i compile i get alot of errors like
Undefined symbol p
and others
please ignore the first download.
Also how do you adjust the bitmap accordingly?

There is your source without the errors ,BUT ,you have to make a general changes if you want to do it by a Dialog!
I suggest you to start learning the differences between the Dialog boxes and the regular windows. Iszelion's tutorials
will be a good start for you (or any WIN32 programming books).
The changes for the MessageBox are generated by WS_POPUPWINDOW style of the window. The bitmap adjustment too. (if there is any adjustment),so the taskbar minimize menu too.
I wish you 'studdy luck' !
Bye for now!
