Use the DC_IconDefault(MYICON) where MYICON is the defined number of a linked resource in your arc-file.

I understood it before asked a question at a forum, and tried to make, but couldn't make the file of resources.
Whether and there is no such possibility: it is simple to set a way on an icon as function parameter?

You could try this:
Code: Select all
DC_IconDefault( XbpIcon():new():create():loadFile('myicon.ico') )

I hoped that there should be such simple decision. But for me for some reason doesn't work:
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE AppSys
// Рабочий стол остается окном приложения
RETURN
FUNCTION MAIN()
DC_IconDefault( XbpIcon():new():create():loadFile('Smile_yellow.ico') )
DC_MsgBox('You should now see the eXPress++ Icon')
RETURN nil

Oops. I didn't look at my code.
I just assumed that it would support an XbpIcon object.
I looked at the Xbase++ documentation and the only thing allowed is a resource number.
You must include your icon in your .exe but linking in a .res file.

it is a pity certainly that the simplest and natural way isn't realized. And how then to make the arc and res files?

Read the Xbase++ documentation about this.
You create a RES file by using a ARC source file and ARC.EXE to compile.

)

Everything turned out perfectly (and not difficult absolutely as it became clear). Thank you very much!
