wxIcon is-a wxBitmap

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

wxIcon height
wxIcon width
wxIcon create

wxIcon height

long height

Height of the icon in pixels.

wxIcon width

long width

Width of the icon in pixels.

wxIcon create

void ( create)

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

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

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).

Examples:

  ; Under X
  (bind ?icon (make-instance (gensym*)
     (bitmap-type wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM)
     (filename "icon.xbm")))

  ; Under Windows
  (bind ?icon (make-instance (gensym*)
     (bitmap-type wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO)
     (filename "icon.ico")))
