How to add an icon for task bar?

[ChugunovRoman]

Hi, I use go-winres in own Go Qt UI project. I added an icon for the app, and the icon display anywhere but task bar. How to fix that?
If create lnk file for binary file, the icon will be display. But if run binary directly the icon will not be display.
My res config for icon:

"RT_GROUP_ICON": {
    "APP": {
      "0000": [
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png"
      ]
    },
    "#42": {
      "0409": "icon.ico",
      "040C": "icon.ico"
    },
    "MAINICON": {
      "0409": "icon.ico"
    },
    "OTHER": {
      "0000": "icon.ico"
    }
  }

Result:

Hello,

It's been a long time I haven't worked on Win32 GUIs, and it was not in Go.
But I think you need to set your main window's icon with something like WM_SETICON.

I tried a console app, and Windows does that for you: it takes the first icon it finds and sets it as the console window's icon.
But in a GUI you create your own windows so you have to do it on your own.
I don't know Qt at all, maybe it has a parameter for that somewhere.

@tc-hib I found solution! Should have been added this in RT_GROUP_ICON in winers.json:

"IDI_ICON1": {
  "0409": "icon.ico"
}

Hello, thanks for the feedback.

I find it strange, but who knows, that could be a default name for the window's icon. If that's the case, maybe I should talk about it in the readme.

On a side note, I don't know if your json was the real thing, but you shouldn't use the same image several times in the same icon

Instead of

    "APP": {
      "0000": [
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png",
        "icon.png"
      ]
    }

use

    "APP": {
      "0000": "icon.png"
    }

    }

Hi, I removed all properties exclude IDI_ICON1. My current RT_GROUP_ICON is:

"IDI_ICON1": {
  "0409": "icon.ico"
}

It works great for any cases. The app has an icon anywhere
