Hi..
I have problem with SETICON comand,not work for me- what i do wrong.
from help:

QuoteExample usage

hIcon = LOADIMAGE( "c:\\images\\prog.ico", @IMGICON)
SETICON mywindow, hIcon

i use this command many times in CB and there works fine.
I do this :
UINT iconic
iconic = LOADIMAGE("c:\\absmall.ico", @imgicon)
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENWINDOW w1,winL,winT,MeWidth,MeHeight,@caption|@minbox|@maxbox|@size,0,capmain$,&main
SETICON w1,iconic

I made icon as usual 16x16 in 256 colors.
so what i do wrong?

Is absmall.ico really in the root directory of your c drive?

*DELETED* @larry sorry didnt read it correctly

this is the from the users guide



hIcon = LOADIMAGE( "c:\\images\\prog.ico", @IMGICON)
SETICON mywindow, hIcon


so that tells me to create a folder called "images" on drive C:\, and save my icon there.
You have to find were you saved your icon and give the full path

SORRY, Code is from EBasic Reference Manual

attach your ico so I can see if it works for me.

Aslo, did you try it with different icon?

Hi Larry here is this small icon 16x16 in 256 colors.
I try many others and dont work,im totaly confused why dont work?

Aurel
I made a little test program and it worked fine for me.
Try this program on your computer.
UINT iconic
iconic = LOADIMAGE("c:\\absmall.ico", @imgicon)
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
capmain$="test"
window w1
OPENWINDOW w1,0,0,100,100,@caption|@minbox|@maxbox|@size,0,capmain$,&main
SETICON w1,iconic
centerwindow w1
int run =1
waituntil run=0
DELETEIMAGE iconic,@imgicon
CLOSEWINDOW w1
end

SUB main
    IF @CLASS = @IDCLOSEWINDOW
        run=0
    ENDIF
RETURN
ENDSUB

Yes it works now ;)
Thanks Larry i dont know that i must use DELETEIMAGE
mean i know that is this proper way but i dont use this in CB.
I forget about roule for releasing resource to system.
So if i want use similiar in ABasic i must find way to releasing resources on exit.

CBasic also has the DELETEIMAGE command.
