Icon

:idea:

For those that don't want to mess around with the source code .. attached is a simple method ( Windows-only ) to set the icon of your window.

Image

Bit ugly*, as it requires you to distribute the icon file with your exe + it switches the icon during run-time after the window has already been created .. but it's better then nothing.

*Unless you want to do fancy real-time icon tricks, then this is the way to go 8)

Nice workaround. I haven't managed to do the same with ZApp.Icon because for some reason I cannot get the handle to the icon using FindResource, LoadIcon etc.

:roll:

Silly 2011-Kjell ... below is a workaround that uses the internal icon / resource instead.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<ZApplication Name="App" Caption="Icon" CustomScreenWidth="640" CustomScreenHeight="360" MouseVisible="255" FileVersion="2">
  <OnLoaded>
    <ZExternalLibrary ModuleName="kernel32" Source="int GetModuleHandleA(string lpModuleName){}"/>
    <ZExternalLibrary ModuleName="user32">
      <Source>
<![CDATA[int LoadIconA(int hInstance, string lpIconName){}
int SendMessageA(int hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam){}]]>
      </Source>
    </ZExternalLibrary>
    <ZExpression>
      <Expression>
<![CDATA[// Resource id

int id = 1;

// Load resource & update window icon

int hInstance = GetModuleHandleA(null);
int hIcon = LoadIconA(hInstance, reinterpret_cast<string>(id));
SendMessageA(App.WindowHandle, 0x80, 0, hIcon);]]>
      </Expression>
    </ZExpression>
  </OnLoaded>
  <OnRender>
    <UseMaterial Material="PointMaterial"/>
    <RenderNet XCount="7" YCount="7">
      <RenderVertexExpression>
<![CDATA[//

Vertex.X += sin(App.Time*0.9+Vertex.Y);
Vertex.Y += cos(App.Time*0.7+Vertex.X);]]>
      </RenderVertexExpression>
    </RenderNet>
  </OnRender>

I recommend using a .ico that contains a couple of sizes ( when you don't care about file-size ).

- 16x16 is generally used for the window.
- 32x32 is generally used in the Alt-Tab menu.
- 48x48 ( or bigger ) is generally used on the desktop.

Kjell, this is smart solution. Cannot it be integrated into ZGE; why to have this code in (almost) every windows project?

Hi Rado1,

No .. this is only a ( imperfect ) workaround. It still shows the incorrect / original ( IDI_APPLICATION ) icon in the Alt+Tab menu on Windows XP ( due to how icons are cached ) and does so for a couple of frames on ( for example ) Windows 7 as well.
