Is there anybody who knows how to load an Icon in the Windows Console

I work with the dmd, and it concerns 32 bit Windows Console

  Hi all,
 Is there anybody who knows how to load an Icon in the Windows Console
 applications.
 I work with the dmd, and it concerns 32 bit Windows Console
 applications.

Do you want to have a custom icon to show up with the executable in Windows
Explorer?

I'm not sure what you want to do, but you might need to use a resource script
and
resource compiler:

rcc resource.rc -v -32
dmd pgm.d resource.res


Below is a sample resource script (resource.rc) and the C header file that it
depends upon.

I hope this might help.

with dmd for brownie points:

Check icon.rc and icon.ico, as well as the makefile:
