Question

I tried to make a Symbol Button with MFC. The Icon-Resource (*.ico) has a size of 16×16 pixels. When I load the icon into the button, the icon appears twice as large. Do you know how I can specify the size of the icon drawn onto the button-surface?

The Code Fragment I’m using:

CButton* btn = reinterpret_cast<CButton*>(GetDlgItem(IDC_BUTTON_RUNTER));
btn->SetIcon(AfxGetApp()->LoadIconA(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_RUNTER)));

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can use LoadImage instead of LoadIcon which will allow you to specify the size.
