Hello "world",

my programm begins like that :

include 'I:\Fasm\Include\win32ax.inc'
.code
start:

blablabla...

.end start

.data
toto dd ?

section '.rsrc' resource data readable
directory RT_ICON, icons, RT_GROUP_ICON, group_icons
resource icons, 1, LANG_NEUTRAL, icon_data
resource group_icons, IDI_FRANCE, LANG_NEUTRAL, main_icon
icon main_icon, icon_data, 'I:\Fasm\res\france.ico'

So is there a way to simplify the las 5 lines ?
Thanks for your help.

Traxler,

What kind of simplification do you need? Stock resource macros are direct implementation of PE internal structures related to resources. If the only resource you want is an icon, make a wrapper macro for those 5 lines.

Traxler,

Here you go (untested):

Code:

macro app_icon id, filename {
  local icons, group_icons, icon_data, main_icon
  section '.rsrc' resource data readable
  directory RT_ICON, icons, RT_GROUP_ICON, group_icons
  resource icons, 1, LANG_NEUTRAL, icon_data
  resource group_icons, id, LANG_NEUTRAL, main_icon
  icon main_icon, icon_data, filename
}
;;; Usage:
app_icon IDI_FRANCE, 'I:\Fasm\res\france.ico'
