Notepad icon

One for the "when we have nothing else to do" list

The icon for the Notepad class and sample are wrong on XP - you get the
question mark icon displayed. It looks like the icon index in notepad.exe
has changed from 1 to 2 on XP so Notepad class>>icon probably needs an OS
check.

This gets to something that I've wanted to do for a while now.  It might be
nice to have a gizmo that allows one to draw (with blocks??) bitmaps rather
than load them from files.   A lot of this stuff is small and could be
generated and even stored in the image.  Comments and/or better ideas?

Have a good one,

Bill

I realise that I'm sliding into "request for enhancement" territory here,
but since you've mentioned it, I'd also *very much* like to be able to store
icons (and similar, but mainly icons) in the image and as resources in
packages.

I think this could probably be done within the existing frameworks, after
all it is up to an Icon to realize itself, however it is something we will
have to look at after the initial release.

Just a quick update on this major issue. It is fixed in Beta2 but the icon
in the samples folder is still showing as a question mark. It needs a quick
"Notepad initialize" to knock it back into line.

Thanks Ian, I'll re-open it.
