Project Properties - Icons

The Icons page is used to maintain a list of further icons that will be linked into the compiled application. The information that is maintained here is stored in the project's .cfg file in the [Icons] section.

Icon List

The Icon List at the top of this page displays a scrolling list of all icons to be linked with this application. The list cannot be edited directly, but when you select a row, the name and path are displayed in the corresponding edit boxes, and the icon is displayed in the icon view panel.

Name

This is a unique identifier for each icon in the icon list. This can be any valid identifier and does not need to be the same as the icon's filename.

Path

This is the filename of the selected icon. If the icon file is located in one of the compiler's make paths, then you can omit the pathname for that file. The path will be resolved during linking. If the file is not located in one of the make paths, then you need to include the path as part of the filename.

Click the prompt "…" button to launch the Icon Extractor dialog for browsing directories for your desired icon or for extracting icons from .exe and .dll files.

For more information, refer to Icon Extractor.

Add Icon

Adds a blank row to the icon list and selects it for editing.

Delete Icon

Deletes the selected row from the icon list.
