This is a slightly edited, and motified, version of the routine that
xrn uses to set the application icon:
/* This file defines "bits", "width" and "height" */
#include "standard.bitmap.file"
void
xmIconCreate()
{
Pixmap icon_pixmap = (Pixmap) 0;
Arg arg;
/* Check if the user defined an icon already */
XtSetArg(arg, XmNiconPixmap, &icon_pixmap);
XtGetValues(TopLevel, &arg, 1);
/* User didn't, so set it */
if (icon_pixmap == (Pixmap) 0) {
XtSetArg(arg, XmNiconPixmap,
XCreateBitmapFromData(XtDisplay(TopLevel),
XtScreen(TopLevel)->root,
bits, width, height));
XtSetValues(TopLevel, &arg, 1);
}
/* Did the user set the "iconGeometry" resource? */
if (app_resources.iconGeometry != NIL(char)) {
int scr, x, y, junk;
Arg args[2];
/* Find the appropriate screen and set the geometry */
for(scr = 0; /* yyuucchh */
XtScreen(TopLevel) != ScreenOfDisplay(XtDisplay(TopLevel), scr);
scr++);
XGeometry(XtDisplay(TopLevel), scr, app_resources.iconGeometry,
"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &x, &y, &junk, &junk);
XtSetArg(args[0], XmNiconX, x);
XtSetArg(args[1], XmNiconY, y);
XtSetValues(TopLevel, args, XtNumber(args));
}
}

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but I can't seem to find
any record of it. Does anyone have a working example of setting the
application icon from within the application?
-kee
In Motif, create a single plane bitmap of the proper size (usually 48x48,
but technically one should call XGetIconSizes to determine the sizes which
the window manager wants) and then set the XmNiconPixmap resource of your
application's shell widget.
In my code this looks something like:
creating bitmap:
Display* display;
Drawable rootWin;
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;
char* iconBits; // the output from 'bitmap'
Pixmap iconPixmap;
iconPixmap = XCreateBitmapFromData( display, rootWin,
iconBits, width, height);
creating shell widget:
XtSetArg( argList[i], XmNiconPixmap, iconPixmap); i++;
appShell = XtAppCreateShell( (String) appName, (String) appClass,
applicationShellWidgetClass,
display, argList, i);
Sorry that this isn't a working example, but I had to cut these code
fragments out of a larger C++ program and I don't have time to paste them
all together.

This paragraph indicates that certain properties of the window are examined by the window manager when the window is mapped. This recently bit me, as it means the icon stuff must be set before toplevel window is mapped. Hopefully the motif toolkit will work correctly, but if you use XSetWMHints instead, make sure the window is realized but not yet mapped. -Greg Pasquariello grp@unify.com

I followed the code in Nye & O'Reilly vol 4 X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual p.278 and it worked fine. At least it did on a 32x32 icon. On a 16x16 icon I only got the default icon. This was mwm version 1.0, running on an Apollo using both the Apollo and a 386 for servers. The bits were created using bitmap. #include "ruler.bits" Pixmap icon_pixmap; Widget toplevel; toplevel = XtInitialise(...); icon_pixmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(XtDisplay(toplevel), RootWindowOfScreen(XtScreen(toplevel)), ruler_bits, ruler_width, ruler_height); XtSetArg(args[0], XmNiconPixmap, icon_pixmap); XtSetValues(toplevel, args, 1); +----------------------+---+ Jan Newmarch, Information Science and Engineering, University of Canberra, PO Box 1, Belconnen, Act 2616 Australia.
