I have a window class winclass. For winclass.hIcon and winclass.hIconSm I want to use a custom icon so I need to include the icon in a .rc file how do I do this? If i try to add a resource script in Visual C++ 6 it shows me a folder and I am unable to type anything in like My_Icon ICON Icon.ICO so I cant load the icon using winclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(hinstance, "My_ICON"); Can you understand what I am trying to ask (i know this sounds confusing)? I would appreciate any help on this subject Thanks

Put this in the ".rc" file:

MY_ICON ICON "myicon.ico"

Use like this when creating your window:

wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hinstance, "MY_ICON");


I hope that helps.
