Missing icons and combobox entries

[Maurader]

Hi, I'm a newbie looking for help : )

I'm creating a MFC dll to be used by MasterCAM v9 software.

In my dialog box, I have a CListCtrl and a CComboBox. The List contains (or should contain) icons that I have created within MSVC, and are under the resources/icons folder. I am using

m_shape_image.Create (32, 32, 0, 0, 8);
icon[0] = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_RECTANGLE);

CListCtrl *list = (CListCtrl *) GetDlgItem (IDC_SHAPES);
list->SetImageList (&m_shape_image, LVSIL_SMALL);m_shape_image.Add (icon[0]);

to load the icons into the list. However, the icons do not appear! When I debug and step into the LoadIcon method, there is an error saying cannot evaluate expression. Are there specific directories that my .ico files have to be located in? or are there environment variables that I need to set?

Also, when I try to populate a combobox using

m_create.InsertString(0,"1 Point"

nothing appears in the box...any ideas?

thanks!

To use resources with a dll, You should explicitely link they to dll - on default, dlls in VC++ do not use resources.
