[Zefa]

Hi all,

Can somebody tell me what happened with that?
Thank you.

Looks like AIF is not created....
Do a clean build from command line......

[Zefa]

i cleaned my application,but it still didn't appear.then i cleaned the solution ( am i wrong? ),but still the same.
what should i do?

thank u

I am not sure which example you are trying....

Can you post your project here or cut copy paste your mmp atleast...

Hi Zefa,

Check in Aif folder that there is icon & icon_mask bmp exist or not.

and you can also check in mmp file is there aif field. like

AIF will be at last of mmp file after library file. like this way

AIF Demo.aif ..\aif Demoaif.rss c8 context_pane_icon.bmp context_pane_icon_mask.bmp

Check this , it may helpful to you.

hi all,
thanks for your advice.I did all your suggestion but it still didn't work.does the UID has an effect with icon in the emulator?because,in the mmp file,the target is an exe file?
How if i change that into an app file?can the icon show in the emulator?

thanks..

Hi,

AIF is not supported in 3rd edition. You need to use MIFCONV. for this search in forums or read the documents provided for 3rd edition SDK.
