Hey,
This isn't a real big deal, but it would be nice if I could get an icon to show up on my program's taskbar button. I've been able to get the Application's icon to work, but the taskbar one still eludes me
Here's my window intialization:
// =============================================================================
// Function: InitApp
// Purpose: This sets the fields of a WNDCLASSEX object and then uses it
// to register a new windows class. Finally, it creates a new
// fullscreen window and returns a handle to this window.
// =============================================================================
HWND InitApp (HINSTANCE instance) // Application instance handle
{
// Local variables
WNDCLASSEX winClass;
// Fill in the WNDCLASSEX object with some default values
winClass.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
// Set the size just to be safe
winClass.style = CS_DBLCLKS / CS_OWNDC / CS_HREDRAW / CS_VREDRAW;
// Use a standard game style
winClass.lpfnWndProc = WinProc; // Our message handling function
winClass.cbClsExtra = 0; // Extra class info space (not used)
winClass.cbWndExtra = 0; // Window info space (not used)
winClass.hInstance = instance; // Application instance handle
winClass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_BIGICON));
// Large icon to be used by windows
winClass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_ARROW));
// Cursor to be used by windows
winClass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
// Brush used to clear the screen
winClass.lpszMenuName = NULL; // No menus used
winClass.lpszClassName = WIN_CLASS_NAME;
// Name of the new window class
winClass.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_SMALLICON));
// Small icon to be used by windows
// Register the window class
if (!RegisterClassEx(&winClass))
exit(10);
// Create a new window
return CreateWindowEx(NULL, // Advanced...
WIN_CLASS_NAME, // Name used to register winClass
WIN_TITLE, // Name used in window title bar
WS_POPUP / WS_VISIBLE,
// A basic, full screen style
0, 0, // Window postion
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXFULLSCREEN),
// Set window width to the width of the desktop
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYFULLSCREEN),
// Set window height to the height of the desktop
NULL, // Handle to parent window
NULL, // Handle to window's menu
instance, // Application instance
NULL); // Advanced...
}
Which is supposed to load a different icon for the large and small icons (just so I can see what's going on.) Both icons are 32x32 (MSVC++ didn't seem to want to let me make a 16x16 small ICON
... This might be the problem, but I don't know.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
