How do i put icons at my application?

[Assassinbeast]

ive looked at

http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.0/classsf_1_1Window.php#a63af61e026fba08e3153fd013620bcc0

void sf::Window::setIcon, but i didn't really understand it because it only have 3 parameters which is width, height and pixels. But where should i load the big & small icons?

Thanks for all your support

There's only one icon, which is used for both big and small sizes.

Well if you use a sf::RenderWindow, then you should look at the documentation for the rendern window, where you'd see sf::RenderWindow::setIcon.

Also keep in mind that this will only change the icon at runtime, but the application icon in for example the explorer won't change. You'd have to set this in your IDE.

I have only the express version of visual studio, so i cant use resources.

Yes, i use renderwindow. But where in the code should i write so my program knows where to load the icon, and what can i write in the 3rd parameter of sf::Window::SetIcon?

Yes you can! You simply have to write the .rc file on your own, without the resource editor.

Load the image into a sf::Image, then pass its size (width & height) as the first two parameters and for the third one: image.getPixelsPtr().

There is a tutorial on the SFML Wiki:

Tutorial: Create and Use SetIcon

Load the image into a sf::Image, then pass its size (width & height) as the first two parameters and for the third one: image.getPixelsPtr().

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

sf::Image myicon;

int main()
{
        myicon.loadFromFile("snake.ico");
        sf::RenderWindow mywindow(sf::VideoMode(800,600,32),"icon");
        sf::Event ev;
        mywindow.setIcon(32,32,myicon.getPixelsPtr());
        while(mywindow.isOpen())
        {
                while(mywindow.pollEvent(ev))
                {
                        if(ev.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                mywindow.close();
                }
                mywindow.clear(sf::Color(0,200,0));
                mywindow.display();
        }
}

I get an error in the console window that says:

Failed to load image "snake.ico". Reason : Image not of any known type, or corrupt.

 
Also.... how can i pass the width and height?
myicon.width or height doesn't exist.

There is a tutorial on the SFML Wiki:

Tutorial: Create and Use SetIcon

That tutorial is from 1.6, and in 2.0 theres no .width or .height

Read the error message (and then the doc).

myicon.width or height doesn't exist.

I got it to work with this code

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

sf::Image myicon;

int main()
{
        myicon.loadFromFile("snake.png");
        sf::RenderWindow mywindow(sf::VideoMode(800,600,32),"icon");
        sf::Event ev;
        mywindow.setIcon(32,32,myicon.getPixelsPtr());
        while(mywindow.isOpen())
        {
                while(mywindow.pollEvent(ev))
                {
                        if(ev.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                mywindow.close();
                }
                mywindow.clear(sf::Color(0,200,0));
                mywindow.display();
        }
}

But the big icon on the taskbar isn't showing. Why is that?

Also keep in mind that this will only change the icon at runtime, but the application icon in for example the explorer won't change. You'd have to set this in your IDE.

... which includes the Win7 taskbar icon...
