Dev-C++ can add an icon to the executable for you by adding the following piece of code to a resource file attached to your project:
A ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "filename.ico"
This will be stored in a temporary resource file (projectname_private.rc) that is attached to the project at compile time.
Library
Opens up the \Icons folder which provides an antique set of ye-olde icons. One can of course add his own icons to that folder, so that they will show up here.
Browse
Opens up a File Browser to search through the file system for icon files.
Remove
Detaches the currently selected icon from the project. Does not delete the file itself.
Type
Selecting a type here will determine what kind of output is produced:
- Win32 GUI will add -mwindows to the compiler command to remove the cmd window.
- Win32 Console will effectively do nothing special.
- Win32 Static Lib will create a .a file.
- Win32 DLL will create a DLL file.
Support Windows XP Themes
If enabled, Dev-C++ will add a Common Control 6 Manifest to the project to enable visual styles. Dev-C++ will add the following piece of code to a resource file attached to your project:
1 24 "projectname.exe.Manifest"
This will be stored in a temporary resource file (projectname_private.rc) that is attached to the project at compile time.
