Marek,

How about to including in your <programname>.rc the following string(s):

// Using a resource file like this, you can include bitmaps, icons and sounds
// inside EXE.
//
// Resource name Resource Type Resource FileName
//
WORLD ICON WORLD.ICO
...

Going this way, I preperad .rc file, but in my opinion, it doesn't work.
If I declare icon in window definition, it appears.
But main program listed in folder has standard icon from ide.
My older project, linked with hmg 2.0 and older IDE has icon.

Maybe something with IDE ???

Had you mentioned all your resources in the IDE resources page of the Project Browser window? (instead of listing them in a .rc file)



It works fine for me.

I have all resources placed in "Resrc." tab:

but still only standard icon appears in my AKORD.EXE

[Rathinagiri]

icon and ICON are the same? And, is there any empty space after the last line?

I don't understand why this happens.

[mol]

thanks! it must be "ICON" not "icon" !!!
So simply then so hard to find error...

Best regards, Marek

Happy that you had solved.

Ok Hello to all on this forum
i'm new in programming hmg ide : excellent !
i have a problem with icons and bitmaps . I want to include the .bmp of my program in the executable:

Code: Select all

    DEFINE MAIN MENU
        DEFINE POPUP "File"
            MENUITEM "Open" ACTION MsgInfo("Open") IMAGE "info.bmp"
            MENUITEM "Save" ACTION MsgInfo("Save") IMAGE "free.bmp"
            SEPARATOR
            MENUITEM "Exit" ACTION ThisWIndow.Release IMAGE "exit.bmp"
        END POPUP
        DEFINE POPUP "Help"
            MENUITEM "About" ACTION MsgInfo("HMG IDE - Menu Designer")
        END POPUP
    END MENU

END WINDOW

I have include in the ressource of program the list of them like
OPEN BITMAP INFO.BMP
