               The Resource Compiler ICON Statement (Control)
 
ICON icon-id, id, x, y, width, height[, style]
 
This form of the ICON statement creates an icon control. This control is an
icon displayed in a dialog box. The ICON statement, which you can use only
in a DIALOG or WINDOW statement, defines the icon-resource identifier,
icon-control identifier, position, and attributes of a control window. The
predefined class for this control is WC_STATIC. If you do not specify a
style, the default style is SS_ICON. For the ICON statement, the width and
height fields are ignored; the icon automatically sizes itself.
 
Field    Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
icon-id  Specifies the resource identifier of an icon that is defined
         elsewhere in the resource file.
 
id       Specifies the control identifier. This value must be an integer in
         the range 0 through 65,535, or a simple expression that evaluates
         to a value in that range.
 
x        Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
         This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
         expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
         subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
         units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
         control containing the specified control.
 
y        Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
         This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
         expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
         subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
         units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
         control containing the specified control.
 
width    Specifies a reserved value. Can be set to zero.
 
height   Specifies a reserved value. Can be set to zero.
 
style    Specifies the control styles. For a list of possible styles, see
         the topic ◄Static styles►. You can use the bitwise OR (|) operator
         to combine styles.
 
Example
 
This example creates an icon control whose icon identifier is 99.
 
ICON 99, 101, 10, 10, 0, 0
