Does any one know how I can get an icon out of an application using wxWidgets?
I know how to use the wxIcon a little and how to get icons from a specific path but I need it from an application directly and it is destined to work on a Linux platform. UpCase already said that we cannot get icons from the executable file in Linux but there are "icons" for applications in Linux, no??? So they must get them from somewhere....
Thanks for helping me ;)

"UpCase already said that we cannot get icons from the executable file in Linux.." Nope, I didn't :)
I said that you can't get them from "resource", since they don't exist on Linux. I'd recommend to use XPMs on both Windows and Linux. XPMs can be "embedded" in the application, thus you don't need a separate file.

Re: Icons from .exe #4964 Posted by: 2004-08-06 23:36:58 | Ok, that's good but how do I get it out of the executable?? There is no function like ExtractIcon...and paths only go to the .exe. Moreover, applications already have icons designed and can it be in xpm format?? I tried learning about icon handling on Linux but there's not much information!!!!
Thx | 4. Re: Icons from .exe #4995 Posted by: 2004-08-17 06:26:40 | hi,
first of all, this is an interesting topic. now a couple of resource/icon oriented questions:
- how to make the .rc file work with Dev-Cpp?? it seems that MY .rc is never compiled, because Dev-Cpp uses it's own private.rc (resource_private.h or something like that)..?
- how to create XPMs from other image formats (gif, jpeg, bmp) ???
thanx | 5. Re: Icons from .exe #5005 | You can get them by "ResHacker" or PeExplorer in Windows.

- "how to make the .rc file work with Dev-Cpp"
Include the rc file in your project and compile. This should include your resource file in the "projectname_private.rc" and thus be compiled and linked.
- "how to create XPMs from other image formats (gif, jpeg, bmp)"
Check http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/support/ for an easy too called bnp2xpm. I guess you know what it will do :)
Almost every decent imaging software should have export support for XPM. The "best" thing would be to write a converter yourself :)
Hey, great idea for my upcoming tutorials :)
