Icons

[Xeon]

Hi there! Whenever I create an MFC application(dialog based), AppWizard will auto-generate a 3D MFC icon, right? The name of the 3D MFC icon is IDR_MAINFRAME by default, right?
How do I do it in such a way that I can replace the default MFC icon with a icon of my own in the program's title bar? Thanks!

Use resource editor. In the properties of the IDR_MAINFRAME change the file name to your

Rating isn't important...But gurus respect it and keep high

Strange, I tried it on several testing project, and all worked fine.

But after I tried it on my main project, which has RC seperated on different dll, it just doens't have the right-look on the windows explorer.

You are aware that you are answering a four-years old question?

yes, and 4 years pass, the question still exists. However, some rookies should have become gurus, and hope someone could answer this problem.

Well....the original question was indeed already answered. And if yours is a new question...it should have gone in its own thread...nevertheless, I am not sure what your problem is, however, the explorer for example does not change the icons immediately if they get changed....either through code or file extension assignment...

Having RC in different DLLs you should use AfxGet/SetResourceHandle or
AFX_MANAGE_STATE ( AfxGetStaticModuleState() ); depending from type of DLL
