I agree with Alex. You could test this theory, by opening the file in the
resource editor (not adding it) then create a new icon, then copy and paste
the image from the opened file into the new icon.

VS imports based on file type. I just did a test here where I renamed a
..bmp file to .ico and went through your steps and it was imported as a
bitmap.

Hi all,

I want to add a custom icon at the top left corner of my dialog based mfc
application. Now i dont want to create a new icon file on my own....so
here
are the steps i followed

1) right clicked on icon folder n then click add resource
2) click import after selecting icon from resource type
3) import the icon file from my machine (ico file)

Now when i import it..it some how goes under the bitmap folder even though
it has a .ico extension......secondly how do i load this icon in my
application.....i tried changing the loadicon statement in main
application
but it doesnt show me the new icon

How should i go about it
