Icon

An icon is a small bitmap which can be used to decorate a minimized frame. There are platform-specific ways of creating an icon.

icon-create
icon-delete
icon-get-height
icon-get-width
icon-load-from-file

icon-create

long ( icon-create string fileOrResource)

Creates an icon. Under X, the argument must be the filename of a valid XBM (X bitmap) file. Under Windows, the argument must be the name of an icon resource compiled into the current executable.

Use frame-set-icon to set the icon of a frame.

icon-delete

long ( icon-delete long icon-id)

Deletes the given icon.

icon-get-height

long ( icon-get-height long icon-id)

Gets the height of the icon.

icon-get-width

long ( icon-get-width long icon-id)

Gets the width of the icon.

icon-load-from-file

long ( icon-load-from-file string file, string bitmap-type)

Loads an icon from a file. Under X, the argument must be the filename of a valid XBM (X bitmap) file. Under Windows, the argument must be the filename of a Windows icon file.

Under X, the permitted icon types in the bitmap-type are:

• wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP Load a Windows bitmap file (if USE_IMAGE_LOADING_IN_X is enabled in wx_setup.h).
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_GIF Load a GIF bitmap file (if USE_IMAGE_LOADING_IN_X is enabled in wx_setup.h).
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM Load an X bitmap file.
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM Load an XPM (colour pixmap) file. Only available if USE_XPM_IN_X is enabled in wx_setup.h.

Under Windows, the permitted types are:

• wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO Load a cursor from a .ico icon file (only if USE_RESOURCE_LOADING_IN_MSW is enabled in wx_setup.h).
• wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO_RESOURCE Load a Windows resource (as specified in the .rc file).
