16x16 Status Tray Icon

Hi all.

I've made a little Dialog app that has a status tray icon. However, i always seem to end up with the 32x32 icon in the status tray - compressed and looking really distorted and ugly.

I made a special 16x16 icon(in IDR_MAINFRAME), but i can't seem to figure out how to get the icon handle to it.

I tried to use GetIcon(FALSE) but i still end up with the compressed 32x32 icon in the tray.

Any hints?


Thanks :wave:

Why don't u try adding another icon instead of adding a 16X16 to IDR_MAINFRAME ?

hi
you could try this two things (they worked for me in different situations).the first is:
m_tnid.hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_ICON1); // user defined

or instead try the LoadImage functions, that replaces LoadIcon, where one of the parameter is for image size (look at MSDN):

hIcon = (HICON)::LoadImage((HINSTANCE)GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_LOFF),IMAGE_ICON,GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON),GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON),0);

I guess i'm forced to ask this stupid question... How do i make an icon with only a 16x16.. i haven't figured out how to delete the 32x32 that's created initially.

:p

:D

Need to do some searching!!

Here.. open the icon in resource editor, now, in the device combo right at the top of the icon, select the one you want to delete.
Then go to menu -> Image -> Delete device image.
