icon on taskbar button 1

[stephd]

Hi,

I've a dialog without title bar, so the button in the taskbar has no icon and no text. With a SetWindowText in the OnInitDialog, i can set a text for this button, but i really don't know how to set the icon... Is it possible and if yes, how ?

note : when i press alt-tab to show all the window actually opened, there is my dialog based application with its icon...

thanks a lot for any help !

Have you tried using SendMessage / WM_SETICON ?
I don't know, but who knows.... it might just work

yes, in the OnInitDialog, there is theses two lines :

SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon

So the WM_SETICON message is used... but it does not work...

thanks anyway for your answer

In fact, it is quite strange because it depends on the OS. On win 98 or win Me, there is no icon in the task bar button, but on Win XP pro, the icon is well displayed... So i suppose it is a windows problem... Is there anyway to display the icon on win 98/Me ?...

Check out Q249291 - "BUG: Dialog Editor Doesn't Permit a Taskbar Icon if the Titlebar Is Off" on the MSDN. I think this explains exactly what your problem is and a workaround...
