Can you not just replace one .ico file with another? Your requirements may be different than mine, but I've done it this way for years (and it always works).

Thanks for replying and giving me a serious answer.

I am not sure what you are referring to though. I don't have a .ico file in my project and when I go into the properties of the completed executable, I am not able to change the icon.
I'm also not sure how are changing the icon. If you would be able to explain it would be appreciated.

Thanks Smile | :)

I was referring to replacing the .ico file itself. Use Windows Explorer for this.

However, I know nothing of Managed C++ so the whole concept/environment is foreign to me. You may very well not have any .ico files as part of your project.

You are referring to replacing the default icon that windows uses when compiling programs?

How would I do what you are suggesting?

Can you navigate to your project's folder and search for any .ico file(s)?

Sorry for not being clear, but I was refering to what filename am I looking for. I searched the file, but only found some files that I put there myself during some testing.

Open file using IE [VC++ 2005]

4.16: How do I set the icon that's displayed in the caption of a frame window or dialog? 

You first load the icon from your program's resources, then set it as the window's current icon. 
You should set both the large (32x32) and small (16x16) icons; the large icon is used in the 
Alt+Tab window, and the small icon is used in the caption bar and the Taskbar.

Note that the code generated by the MFC AppWizard is buggy and does not properly set the small icon. 
The LoadIcon() function can only load 32x32 icons; to load 16x16 icons, use LoadImage().

// MFC:
HICON hLargeIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon ( IDI_NEW_ICON );
HICON hSmallIcon = (HICON) ::LoadImage ( AfxGetResourceHandle(), 
                                         MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON),
                                         IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );

  wndYourWindow.SetIcon ( hLargeIcon, TRUE );
  wndYourWindow.SetIcon ( hSmallIcon, FALSE );

// Win32 API:
HICON hLargeIcon = LoadIcon ( hinstYourModuleInstance,
                              MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON) );
HICON hSmallIcon = (HICON) LoadImage ( hinstYourModuleInstance,
                                       MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON),
                                       IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );
 
  SendMessage ( hwndYourWindow, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, hLargeIcon );
  SendMessage ( hwndYourWindow, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, hSmallIcon );

Hello,

my solution might be a little odd, but it actually works.

System::Diagnostics::Process^ myProcess = gcnew System::Diagnostics::Process();
myProcess->Start("iexplore.exe","C:\\index.html");

If you're using .Net 2 then you could also use the new
System::Windows::Forms::WebBrowser class, to embed a webbrowser into your application.

regards Tobias

I have a CBitmap object that I need to get to a System::Drawing::Image or System::Drawing::Bitmap and am struggling. The CBitmap is in an unmanaged C++ library and I'm trying to get it into a managed dll. VS.net is definitely my specialty. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How to code DriveInfo class

7-Jun-06 6:11

I am using VS.NET 2003. I want to use the DriveInfo class to get the volume label of the logical drives on my PC. According to Microsoft doc the DriveInfo class is part of the System::IO namespace (see "http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.driveinfo.aspx"). But the declaraion "DriveInfo* myDriveInfo" produces a compile error. The compiler does not know about the DriveInfo class. Does any one know what I have done wrong?? Eg. it knows about "System::IO::Directory" but not "System::IO::DriveInfo"

This is a .Net 2.0 class. So you cant use it in VS2003. It works fine in VS2005

Thanks Milton. So do you know how I can get logical drive info such as drive label? I have seen examples using GetVolumeInformation function (in VB) that uses types such as DWORD & UINT which I am not familiar with and don't know how to translate into C++.NET

Why cant u write the application in C++/Cli VS2005? It supports this driveinfo.

Creating an array inside a struct

I am using VS2003. I don't have VS2005.
I am rewriting in VB.Net now so I can use "GetVolumeInformation". You know VB?? I am hitting another brickwall in VB.
One of the parameters used by "GetVolumeInformation" is declared as
Dim driveLabel As String = Space(200)
This string has length of 200 (driveLabel.length = 200)even if the useful part of the string is only 5 chars long (say "Tommy ... " )
Do you know how I can extract the useful part of "driveLabel" in VB?? I might ask this question on the VB MessageBoard

Hello all!

In order to send a structure with the SerialPort Without using the serialization methods, I was needed to create a union that contains a struct and a byte array, both with offset 0.
I can’t seem to find a way to create an array inside a managed struct (managed union).
The problem is that the SerialPort->Write(…) function wont take an unmanaged array as the input. Mad | :mad:

Can anyone help? Confused | :confused:
