    dialog taskbar icon

    i cant set the small icon for my dialog. here is what i have tried.

    Code:
    HICON hIcon = LoadIcon(Instance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON));
    			if(hIcon == NULL)
    			{
    				sprintf(str, "%i", GetLastError());
    				MessageBox(hwnd_main, str, "NOTE", MB_OK);
    			}
    				
    			SendMessage(hDlg, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, (LPARAM)hIcon);
    but it just makes a blank space in the taskbar next to the dialog name. Any ideas?

    Ok....are you sure the icon is created correctly?....

    The code looks ok.....

    Here's an example I just did to test this with a dailog.......its written for VC++.....have a look and see if there is anything really different....
