The docs say
iconResourceNumber: the icon that gets displayed for the file type will be found by looking up this resource number in the executable. Pass 0 here to not use an icon
How do I know the resource number? Google says I have to find the #if definition for IDI_ICON1 or IDI_ICON2 in resources.h but I can not find it.
I tried some numbers like 0, 1, 2, and 101, but neither seems to work.
Any leads? Setting up a custom Icon is ok too, but know Idea how to add “resources”
I am using custom icons on Windows for my app.
I use a custom .rc file. It has this in it:
#include <windows.h>
// apparently I need to have the app icon as the first two
// listed icons; the second one appears in the titlebar
//
// I have no idea where 'APPICON' for example is #defined, or even used
// cannot locate it, yet this shit works
APPICON ICON DISCARDABLE "APPICON.ICO"
APPICON_SM ICON DISCARDABLE "APPICON.ICO" // KJ#0156
As it says in the comments, I have no idea how/why this works, but it does.
My custom icon file is named APPICON.ICO.
In Projucer, Visual Studio 2019 Settings, in ExtraPrepocessorDefinitions, the path to the RC file:
JUCE_USER_DEFINED_RC_FILE="../../../../Assets/Windows/Icons/MyCustomRCFile.rc"
I think that was all that was to it…
Interesting! But I think I’m missing something: I want files associated with my program with WindowsRegistry::registerFileAssociation ( JUCE: WindowsRegistry Class Reference ) to have my icon in the Windows Explorer, and it wants me to pass an iconNum.
With your example, what is the iconNum to pass?
