When you use a CTaskDialog you can set the footer icon, which is 16 x 16. I would like to do something similar on my own dialog:
At the moment my own dialog has a static resource at the bottom.
I know that I can load the information icon like this:
HICON hInfo = LoadStandardIcon(IDI_INFORMATION);
If you (hopefully) don't need to support Windows XP, you can use LoadIconWithScaleDown
For example:
HICON hicon;
HRESULT hr = LoadIconWithScaleDown(NULL, (PCWSTR)IDI_INFORMATION,
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXICON) / 2, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYICON) / 2, &hicon);
...
This gives you the additional benefit of loading the modern version of the icons instead of the old ugly ones. See also this SO article.
You could do it by using Picture Control, and position it whenever you want. And as code you could do:
CStatic myicon;
myicon.Attach(GetDlgItem(ID_STATIC_ICON));
myicon.SetIcon(static_cast<HICON>(::LoadImage(nullptr, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, 0)));
I didn't test the code, but should work.
