File Icon (dialog-based appl) 1

[zigular]

hello,

i write some data in my dialog-based application into a self-defined videostream. how i can define the icon for these files simply declared as iostreams?!

i've already created the icon file and put it into the \res folder. but how i connected the stream with the icon?!

many thanx
hilmar

If you're using MFC, set up your resources and document template correctly, and then simply call CWinApp::RegisterShellFileTypes() from the constructor of your CWinApp-based application class.

hi teriviret! thank you for your reply, but can you give me a bid more details please? which templates for res/doc? and where i can find them? perhaps you can also give me a little example for the correct call in the contructor. cheers hilmar
