    Using custom icons in Visual C++ 6

    I made an icon, but when i try to load it using LoadIcon(), i get this error:

    error C2664: 'LoadIconA' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const int' to 'const char *'
    Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

    I don't know what to do. I don't think casting it would solve it, so what should I do?

    MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON) rather than just IDI_ICON should do it.

    It's not working, it shows up as the exclamation icon.
