How do you store the icons?? Do you need more then one icon to draw. I ask that because you can store in a CImageList and draw it by specifying the index

BOOL Draw( CDC* pDC,  int nImage, POINT pt,   UINT nStyle );

or if you don't like that way get the icon handle and draw it on the screen with this function:

BOOL DrawIcon(int x,int y,HICON hIcon );

I have only a single icon with me. how the application will identify x and y.

I have only a single icon with me. how the application will identify x and y.

you should get the x/y coordinates with the right-click window message. you could probably give a little more detail on your application or post some code, i'm sure someone can help you.

btw: did you inherit directly from CCmdTarget? you should probably use CWnd or so as your base class, because i'm not sure if CCmdTarget offers a graphics context to draw the icon in.

You have to specify the x and the y coordinates...

how can i get handle for the icon(HICON) because loadicon takes two parameters (HWND, Name) and i dont have HWND.

Try this

HICON hIcon=AfxGetApp()->Loadicon(IDI_YOURICON);

Draw Icon takes CDC parameter. i have to show this icon on activeX control.so how can i take CDC for ActiveX Control.
