Window icon in source code

[rotacak]

Hi, is there any way how to include icon in exe? I want to distribute only one file (exe), not two files (exe, icon).

It is somewhat possible?

Hi,
Use checkbox "Use icon " In Compiler options and choose icon file.

I was trought that icon need be inclued near exe even in this case, but seems no. Maybe it was in older version of Purebasic. Ok, thanx.

Hi.
By setting the compiler's resource options you can include as many Resource scripts as you want.The resources will be compiled and included with the executable.

But how to create .rc files and how to access them?

With that ico I have one problem. When I use 64x64px icon, then small version (16x16) is ugly. Is possible to add more icons with different sizes?

You only need to make more versions of your icon at different sizes (16x16,32x32,48x48,64x64, or whatever you like) and then combine all icons in one .ico file and then use that combined .ico file in PureBasic compiler options. I do it with this program:

But you can find alternatives here on forum, i think netmaestro posted some code for doing same thing in PureBasic (this program above is written in .Net)...

You can create your ico file by using this program:Axialis IconWorkshop.
And then find Resources help from the PureBasic.CHM file or open this url : http://www.purearea.net/pb/english/manu ... piler.html

Sorry for my English.
