Thread: Icon Help

Hello,

I am trying to change the default icon that appears in the left side of the task bar. I created a .ico file using a program called, "icon edit." I made all the proper annotations in resource.h and resource.rc; however, I still get the same old default icon in the taskbar. Any suggestions?

I am using codeblocks 8.02 using with a known working program.

resource.h excerpt

Code:

#define IDI_ICON 153

rescource.rc excerpt

Code:

IDI_ICON ICON DISCARDABLE "C:\\Users\\Dsve\\Desktop\\Card Bitmaps\\ace icon.ico"

call to load icon

Code:

wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON));

This is a 32x32 icon. Program compiles without any errors. Complete code is available upon request. Please offer any suggestions if you see that I am missing something.
