Are you programming in .NET environment? Sounds like it from
your failed solutions (of which I didn't understand any). In that case
you might want to ask in the C++/CLI group instead:

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc

Some of the other .NET groups might actually be even more approriate
for your question...

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.sdk
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing

Hi all,

Could someone give me a down-to-earth explanation of how to use icons
in VC++.NET? I've been trying to figure out how to load an icon for a
NotifyIcon object. I've been looking around on Google but everyone
refers to setting the icon Build Action to be Embedded Resource (which
isn't available in VC++). I've tried using the ResourceManager class;
I've tried turning my class header into a form and using
Icon(GetType(), "notify.ico") to see if that would help; I've tried
using GetManifestResourceStream(); but every single one of them throws
an exception. There doesn't seem to be any end to it.
