A standard icon within a custom dialog
Author
Is there a way in the visual studio dialog editor to place a standard icon (IDI_EXCLAMATION) within a custom dialog?
Or would I have to include it somehow in the code?
thanks.
I don't think you can do it directly through the dialog editor, but it's a pretty simple process to code. After you get the WM_INITDIALOG message, do the following:
SendMessage(hwndIcon, STM_SETICON, (WPARAM)LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_EXCLAMATION), 0);
where hwndIcon is the window handle to a static icon control.

hmm. Is that going to set the icon at the top left corner? I''d like to be able to place it in a specific spot on the dialog..
I''m using mfc so i''ve got an OnInitDialog method.
I could do a SetIcon, but I thought that set the icon in the top left...

An application sends the STM_SETICON message to associate an icon with an icon control.
It sets the icon for an icon (static) control

Create a CStatic and use CStatic::SetIcon().
