icon of dialog

In the OnCreate() message handler you can use CWnd::SetIcon()

The dialog class, CDialog, is derived from CWnd... if you didn't know...

so you could just do this

int CAboutDlg::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) 
{

    if (CDialog::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
        return -1;

    SetIcon( LoadIcon( IDI_SMALLICON ), FALSE );	
    SetIcon( LoadIcon( IDI_BIGICON ), TRUE );
	
    return 0;

}

If this doesn't work, try putting it in the OnInitDialog() message handler.

[jwm]

I tried but can only display standard icon by this:
........
SetIcon( LoadIcon( NULL, IDI_ASTERISK), TRUE );
........

when I changed it to my icon:
SetIcon( LoadIcon( NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1)), TRUE );
nothing is display there. why?

Thanks lot.

Anyone have an answer to this?

Pass your resource handle instead of NULL. Something like AfxGetApp()->hResource
