ICON property (Window)

Specifies the name of the icon displayed in the window's caption bar, and if appropriate, the Windows TaskBar.

This can be one of three formats:

• The path and name of an icon (.ico) file.

• The path and name of a resource file (.exe/.dll) containing the icon. This should have the format:

<filepath> "#" <resourceID>

• The name of a Windows system Icon:

o "APPLICATION"

o "ERROR"

o "INFORMATION"

o "QUESTION"

o "WARNING"

o "SHIELD"

Equated constants for using System Icons can be found the PS_SYSCON_EQUATES insert record.

 
Declare Function Repository

   $Insert PS_SysIcon_Equates

   

   // Example 1 - setting an ICON property with a normal filename

   IcoFile = ".\icons\rti_ide.res\rti_test_dummy.ico"

   Call Set_Property_Only( @Window, "ICON", IcoFile )

   

   // Example 2 - setting an ICON property with a resource from a DLL.

   // (the icon with an ID of "1" from OEngine.dll)

   

   IcoFile = "oengine.dll#1"

   Call Set_Property_Only( @Window, "ICON", IcoFile )

      

   // Example 3 - setting an ICON property with a System Icon

   IcoFile = "WARNING"

   Call Set_Property_Only( @Window, "ICON", IcoFile )

   

   // Example 4 - setting an ICON property using a repository ID

   //

   // IMAGE entities always return the filename in field 1

   IcoFile = Repository( "ACCESS", PS_REP_SYSICON_QUESTION$ )<1>

   Call Set_Property_Only( @Window, "ICON", IcoFile )
