Could someone here please point me in the direction of a better source of information?

I'm trying to give my application an icon using a .ico file as the resource to load it from,
and I'm running into a little trouble.  Since it seems most of the people here have kept up on
their C and/or C++ programming, I'm guessing this should seem so easy that you'll
probably wonder why I even have to ask... but the fact is, I don't know what integer values
are represented by such enum values as LR_DEFAULTCOLOR and such.

Here's a link to the page I'm looking at right now...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/resources/introductiontoresources/resourcereference/resourcefunctions/loadimage.asp

Not very helpful at all.

I would appreciate any help on this,
whether a simple compileable example or a link to a more informative web page,
or whatever.

LR_DEFAULTCOLOR  & co. constants defined in WinUser.h (Windows SDK)
(see bottom of page your provided)

Windows SDK is freely available on Microsoft site.

You could download the Windows' include file converted to D, and check out the winuser.d file.

* The Japanese author's web site for the Windows headers for D these are the converted header files being imported below. http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA028375/d/windows.h.html

* The direct download for the Windows headers for D http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA028375/d/lib_dmd_windows.7z

* 7-Zip Home - to unzip the .7z file here: http://www.7-zip.org/

---------------------------------

Also here all of the enum LR_ listed from the WinUser.h within an older Borland C\C++ compiler's include\win32\winbase.h file.

#define LR_DEFAULTCOLOR     0x0000
#define LR_MONOCHROME       0x0001
#define LR_COLOR            0x0002
#define LR_COPYRETURNORG    0x0004
#define LR_COPYDELETEORG    0x0008
#define LR_LOADFROMFILE     0x0010
#define LR_LOADTRANSPARENT  0x0020
#define LR_DEFAULTSIZE      0x0040
#define LR_VGACOLOR         0x0080
#define LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS  0x1000
#define LR_CREATEDIBSECTION 0x2000
#define LR_COPYFROMRESOURCE 0x4000
#define LR_SHARED           0x8000

Hope this helps you out,
David L.

Thanks.  Not sure why I didn't think of that.
I suppose it's probably because I never have liked any of the Microsoft Windows SDKs.
Couldn't find the link for it at the bottom of that page, but I did manage to find a download site...
then after several hours of downloading, my ISP disconnected me with a few kilobytes to go and aborted the download.

When I'm feeling up to a little more torture, perhaps I'll try it again.  Hehe. Either way... nice of you to point it out.  :)

Yes, quite helpful.
Thanks.
