CTaskDialog::SetMainIcon
Updates the main icon of the CTaskDialog.
void SetMainIcon(
HICON hMainIcon
);
void SetMainIcon(
LPCWSTR lpszMainIcon
);
Parameters
[in] hMainIcon
The new icon.[in] lpszMainIcon
The new icon.
Remarks
This method throws an exception with the ENSURE (MFC) macro if the CTaskDialog is displayed or the input parameter is NULL.
A CTaskDialog can only accept an HICON or LPCWSTR as a main icon. You can configure this by setting the TDF_USE_HICON_MAIN option in the constructor or in the CTaskDialog::SetOptions method. By default, the CTaskDialog is configured to use LPCWSTR as the input type for the main icon. This method generates an exception if you try to set the icon using the inappropriate type.
Example
// TODO: Replace the strings below with the appropriate message,
// main instruction, and dialog title
CString message("This is an important message to the user.");
CString mainInstruction("Important!\nPlease read!");
CString title("Alert Dialog");
CTaskDialog taskDialog(message, mainInstruction, title,
TDCBF_YES_BUTTON | TDCBF_NO_BUTTON | TDCBF_CANCEL_BUTTON );
// Setting new information to be able to reuse the dialog resource
taskDialog.SetWindowTitle(L"New title for the task dialog");
taskDialog.SetContent(L"New message to show the user.");
taskDialog.SetMainInstruction(L"Even more important!");
taskDialog.SetMainIcon(TD_ERROR_ICON);
taskDialog.SetDialogWidth(300);
// Add a footer
taskDialog.SetFooterText(L"Footer information for the dialog.");
taskDialog.SetFooterIcon(TD_INFORMATION_ICON);
// Add expansion information
taskDialog.SetExpansionArea(L"Additional information\non two lines.",
L"Click here for more information.",
L"Click here to hide the extra information.");
// Change the options to show the expanded information by default.
// It is necessary to retrieve the current options first.
int options = taskDialog.GetOptions();
options |= TDF_EXPANDED_BY_DEFAULT;
taskDialog.SetOptions(options);
taskDialog.DoModal();
