Parameters

• hdc
  [in] Handle to the device context for a window.

• yTop
  [in] Specifies the logical y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the icon.

• hIcon

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function places the icon's upper-left corner at the location specified by the xLeft and yTop parameters. The location is subject to the current mapping mode of the device context.

Stretching and compressing the icon or cursor was not supported in earlier versions, but is supported in Windows CE 5.0.

The following list shows features that Windows Embedded CE does not support:

• Mapping modes.
• Using DrawIconEx to draw cursors.
