This seems similar to your previous question of a few days ago. If
the resource ID you are supplying matches the resource ID of a
suitable ICON resource in the DLL, it will work.
But, the key is a "suitable" icon resource. The operating system will
not just load any image for the application icon. The image *has* to
be an icon. Not only that, but the icon resource *has* to have a
small icon image in it.
In ooDialog, if the operating system refused to load the icon, then
ooDialog just falls back and uses the default icon.
So, most likely you are not using a image that is a suitable icon image.
Here is the code for the Rexx program part of an example that works:
/* Simple Dialog showing how to use an application icon. In this example
* the icon is located in the resource only DLL file: ApplicationIcon.dll. The
* symbolic ID for the icon is: IDI_APP_ICON which is defined in the appIcon.h
* file.
*/
dlg = .SimpleDialog~new("ApplicationIcon.dll", IDD_DIALOG1, , "appIcon.h")
dlg~execute("SHOWTOP", IDI_APP_ICON)
::requires "ooDialog.cls"
::class 'SimpleDialog' subclass ResDialog
I'll send you the icon file and the resource script that goes along
with it. Just compile the DLL file from that using ResEdit.
