Title Retrieving Icons from executables
Ref. No. QNX.000009834
Category(ies) Development
Issue Is there a way to extract Icons and other pictures from executables, like the Photon Desktop Menager does it to build its application bar?
Solution There is a function in the library that does that:
x09ApDBase_t *ApOpenExecDBaseFile(char const *exec, char const *modname);
This function is undocumented, so it could potentially dissapear or completely change without a warning. This function may not be portable to other future versions of Photon.
