CreateIconIndirect

The CreateIconIndirect function creates an icon or cursor from an ICONINFO structure.

HICON CreateIconIndirect(

PICONINFO piconinfo
// pointer to icon information structure
);

Parameters

piconinfo

Points to an ICONINFO structure the function uses to create the icon or cursor.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to the icon or cursor that is created.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The system copies the bitmaps in the ICONINFO structure before creating the icon or cursor. The application must continue to manage the original bitmaps and delete them when they are no longer necessary.

When you are finished using the icon, destroy it using the DestroyIcon function.
