C++ :: Win32 API Icon Loading Error (VS2010)
Jul 9, 2013
I am trying to load an icon I created for my program. Relevant code is below:
Code:
//resource.h
#define IDR_MYMENU 103
#define IDR_MYICON 201
#define ID_HELP_NOTICE 40001
#define ID_HELP_ERROR 40002
#define ID_FILE_EXIT 40003
[Code] ....
For some reason, the icon fails to load. I ran a breakpoint at the line for the hIconSm and got this error for the variable:
Code: CXX0030: Error: expression cannot be evaluated
The icon image is in the source folder and was compiled via ImageMagick. Google is not giving me any info regarding the error and the icon combined.

I am using visual studio 2012 on windows 7. but, when I have compiled my programs and run them on an older pc to test out its functions, I receive an error saying that the program is not a "valid win32 application." I have even tested this with a very simple hello world console application, but the problem still remains. Where is the error coming from? is the application corrupted during transport? (upload to internet) or are programs compiled on win 7 incompatible with win xp

tell me the EASIEST way to create a button with an image on it.
I am not interested in using the owner draw property with CBitmapButton and then have to create a whole lot of bitmaps for all the different button states.
There must be a way to simply create an ordinary button which displays an image rather than or as well as a caption....?

I have a MFC dialog project, I move all the icons including the IDR_MAINFRAME icon into a resource-only DLL, so there is no icon embedded in the executable file. In the dialog initialization, the dialog loads the icons using LoadIcon(hResdll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON))). The icons shows correctly on the dialog.
But in the Windows Explorer, the icon of the .exe file is not the icon of IDR_MAINFRAME, I check the resource file in the resource-only dll project, the ID number of the IDR_MAINFRAME is the lowest one of all icon ID numbers. I also try
Code:
SetClassLongPtr(m_hWnd, GCLP_HICON, (LONG)LoadIcon(hResdll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAINFRAME)));
But it doesn't work. The IDR_MAINFRAME icon doesn't show in the Explorer window, the system provides a default icon for the .exe file.

I'm developing a software for Windows using MSVC 2010. My employer sent me 2 png files: 16x16 and 32x32 for the icons.
What I would like to do is to use them as a MSVC icon resource and don't use any code hacks. In the past all I had was an ico file and I just included it in the resource (rc) file for Visual Studio and that was it.
Now my question is: how do I make one ico file out of those 2 png files that will be accepted by MSVC? Is there a tool (preferably free) for it or some online service?

how to change the mouse tracking icon during runtime. I wish to emulate the Microsoft Paint app behavior with respect, for example, to click on a toolbar button such as the 'Fill With Color' bucket and have the mouse pointer icon change to a little bucket. I wish to do this in an MFC SDI app.
Here's a bit of code that does nothing that I can tell, although it compiles and runs. (m_hIcon2 is a member HANDLE, IDI_FLOODFILL is an existing icon in the app resources). I have come across numerous other examples that do not work and/or will not compile using VS 2010 Win7(64).
Code:
void CMainFrame::SetNewIcon() {
m_hIcon2 = LoadIcon(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_FLOODFILL));
SetIcon(m_hIcon2, FALSE);
[Code].....

Where in registry the Explorer stores tray icons visibility settings? (Always show, show only notifications, or always hide.)
I know that Microsoft doesn't want us to change these from a program, which may be OK for a home computer, but it becomes a major pain in the ___ for an enterprise environment (as there seems to be no GPO to do this either.) I've seen couple commercial products that were able to do this, so I'm sure there's a "hack" somewhere...

I made a dialog to have a customizable msgbox. (custom icon, custom caption on buttons). This is how I try to display an icon on the dialog but it is not working.
HICON hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_QUESTION);
HWND hImageCtl = GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_STATIC);
::SendMessage(hImageCtl, STM_SETIMAGE, IMAGE_ICON, (LPARAM)hIcon);
//SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg, IDC_STATIC, STM_SETICON, (WPARAM) hIcon, 0);

If I don't assign the icon to my executable file (f.e. it's a DOS application), or I have some unknown extension in the file, Windows Explorer assigns the icon to this file.
Is there a way to somehow get this icon? Either from the registry or by any other means.

You told me that it's better to use UNICODE all the time.
What if the Win32 Api function doesn't have a UNICODE version.
For example CryptProtectData() takes a BYTE (DATA_BLOB *) which is an unsigned char?

That is my routine to catch a text from editBox (ID_EDIT2) and save in a file. The address of file is in (ID_EDIT1). The code is working.
void simplewrite(HWND hwnd){
HANDLE hFile;
DWORD dwWritten;
[Code]....
My problem is: I put the size of char array txtbuffer=[200]. If I have a editbox bigger than that, I'll get a error. In (editlength) I have the correct length of edit box. But I cant initialize my char txtbuffer[editglenth]=NULL cause editlength is a integer not constant.

I understand including the comctrl32 lib and header. I know to init common controls. I can create a tab window and add tabs to it.
I just can't seem to grasp of how to tell when a specific tab has been selected. I just need to know what to look for with winproc.

I am pretty new to windows programming, but i get around with small applications.
Now I want to create a window with 10 push buttons, and was just wondering if there is some smart way, maybe in a loop to create multiple buttons.
Also, on a very populated window, is there a way to maybe have the WM_CREATE commands stowed away in another cpp file? Just for readabilty.

I have a Win32 C++ application which works pretty well, but I don't like the GUI and I want to replace it with one designed graphically, a la Windows Forms. What is the best strategy to port my code? I tried creating a new Windows Forms C++ application and got pretty far with it, but was stymied when trying to call my unmanaged functions on a button press. If I can't use Forms to add a GUI without completely rewriting the program, what's my best bet?

I am trying to get OpenGL to render inside of a Win32 api static control. I've gone through Nehe's tutorial [URL] on how to render to an entire window. I understand how to do that and I can do it, but I'm not totally sure how to get it to render inside of a static control(or any control). The idea is to have a gui built around an OpenGL view. how I could render inside a static or custom win32 control?

You place a breakpoint at one of locations within the message loop. But I want the breakpoint to trigger when I click on the application window, for example. But I can't, it went so fast so long as I switch from VS to the application program, the breakpoint is hitted again, then the application is frozen again. I don't know how to setup a conditional breakpoint.

I can tons of information by calling DeviceIoControl (such as device ID, device description, whether it's connected or not) since I couldn't do it all with WMI. But I haven't figured out how to get from DeviceIoControl the info that a call to WMI's Win32_PortConnector gets. Are there any calls, directly to DeviceIoControl or something else that for a given device ID or device description would get the PortConnector information?
I would have used a combination of Win32_PortConnector and DeviceIoControl calls but the trouble with PortConnector is that it doesn't provide any information that would allow one to figure out which device ID it belongs to. Why do I need to do this? Because I'd like to get a combination of all the information the two methods provide for a given device such as a USB port, and all I'm getting from Win32_PortConnector is these scant few fields with no other clue:
string Caption;
string ConnectorPinout;
uint16 ConnectorType[];
string CreationClassName;
string Description;
string ExternalReferenceDesignator;
datetime InstallDate;

My setup is as follows:
There is function written C++, that must be compiled to DLL. This DLL is linked to some CAD (computer aded design) tool, that has special interface for it.
I want to add to this function some GUI (graphical user interface). So the creation of a window is necessary.
I've tried already with Win32, but without success.
The problem is that CreateWindow function requires application instance handle, that is provided by Windows itself when window is created in "normal conditions".
