Resource(.rc) Help in DevCPP

This is the first time im using DevCPP i used to use VC++6. Now im having trouble setting the icon of my app. The exe have the icon correctly set but the titlebar doesnt have it set when i open it. I always see the exclamation mark icon. Im not used to creating my resource script manually so probably it must be it or maybe i just forgot something and i cant see it.

Heres the code.

Main:

Code:

---

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hThisInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpStrArg, int iCmdShow )
{
    MSG msg;
    CWindow *CWMain = new CWindow( hThisInstance );
    SelfMessageBox *msgBox = new SelfMessageBox( CWMain->getWindowHandle() );

    CWMain->setWindowProc( CWindowProc );
    CWMain->setIcon( LoadIcon( 0,
        MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDI_FIDE_ICON ) ) ); // Seticon here
   
    if( CWMain->initializeWindow() == 0 ){
        msgBox->newMessage( "Initialization Error:", "Error", MB_OK );
        goto cleanup;
    }
   
    while( GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ) > 0 ){
        TranslateMessage( &msg );
        DispatchMessage( &msg );
    }
   
    cleanup:
    delete msgBox;
    delete CWMain;
    return msg.wParam;
}

Heres is CWindow Class:

Code:

---

#ifndef _CWINDOW_H_
#define _CWINDOW_H_

        class CWindow {
            public:
                CWindow( HINSTANCE );
                int initializeWindow();
                void setVisible( int ); 
                void setWindowProc( WNDPROC );
                HWND getWindowHandle();
                void setTitle( char *sTitle );
                void setIcon( HICON );
            private:
                WNDPROC wndProc;
                                HWND hwnd;
                HINSTANCE hInstance;
                HICON appIcon;
                long width, height;
                char szClassName[128] ;
                char szTitle[128];
                         
            };   
#endif

int CWindow::initializeWindow()
{
    WNDCLASSEX wc = { 0 };
   
    wc.cbSize        = sizeof( WNDCLASSEX );
    wc.style        = 0;
    wc.lpfnWndProc  = wndProc;
    wc.cbClsExtra    = 0;
    wc.cbWndExtra    = 0;
    wc.hInstance    = hInstance;
    wc.hIcon        = appIcon;
    wc.hCursor      = LoadCursor( 0, IDC_ARROW );
    wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)COLOR_BTNSHADOW;
    wc.lpszMenuName  = 0;
    wc.lpszClassName = szClassName;
    wc.hIconSm      = appIcon;

    if( RegisterClassEx( &wc ) == 0 )
        return 0;
    else {
                hwnd = CreateWindowEx( 0, szClassName, szTitle,
        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_CLIPCHILDREN,CW_USEDEFAULT,
        CW_USEDEFAULT, width, height, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL );
       
        if( hwnd == 0 )
            return 0;
    }

    setVisible( 1 );
    return 1; 
} 

void CWindow::setVisible( int iCmdShow )
{
    ShowWindow( hwnd, iCmdShow );
    UpdateWindow( hwnd );                                                                     
}

void CWindow::setIcon( HICON pIcon )
{
    appIcon = pIcon;
}

Heres the .rc

Code:

---

IDI_FIDE_ICON ICON DISCARDABLE "resfiles/fide.ico"

---

here Resource.h

Code:

---

#define IDI_FIDE_ICON 101

---

I think you don't need to load the icon in Dev-C++. Dev-C++ automatically does it if you have something like this in your .rc file:

Code:

---

500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "resfiles\\fide.ico"

---

And I think you know what I mean when I say don't use VC++ in Dev-c++.

It didnt work.

heres my rc

Code:

---

101 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "resfiles\\fide.ico"

---

my resource.h

Code:

---

#define IDI_FIDE_ICON 101

---

This app is supposed to be an MDI app. The Window Proc is not yet complete some parameters in the return value arent set yet. Would this cause a problem with icons not showing??

Code:

---

        LRESULT CALLBACK CWindowProc( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
        {
               
                switch(msg)
                {
                        case WM_CREATE:
                        break;

                        case WM_COMMAND:
                        break;

                        case WM_CLOSE:
                        doClose( hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam );
                        break;

                        case WM_SIZE:
                        break;

                        case WM_DESTROY:
                        doDestroy( hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam );
                        break;

                        case WM_NOTIFY:
                        break;

                        default:
                                return DefFrameProc( hwnd, 0, msg, wParam, lParam ); // Not Complete yet. Second param not yet set.                 }
               
                return 0;
        }

Is your resource script (.rc) being compiled?

Yes. It shows when compiling. I tried making errors in rc and it detects it. So its being compiled. And also the compiled exe has the icon set. Just wont show when run.

Well, I didn't even have to define the icon...

Didnt work. Okay be back ill try to work it out myself. Ill post here wht happens. Thnks for the helps :) .

Dev-C++ has some examples with it. You can see how the icons are used there. And you can choose an icon for your program from project options.
