windows-specific files

wxwidgets application compilation under ms windows requires at least one extra file: a resource file.

the least that must be defined in the windows resource file (extension rc) is the following statement:

#include "wx/msw/wx.rc"

which includes essential internal wxwidgets definitions. the resource script may also contain references to icons, cursors, etc., for example:

wxicon icon wx.ico

the icon can then be referenced by name when creating a frame icon. see the ms windows sdk documentation.

note: include wx.rc after any icon statements so programs that search your executable for icons (such as the program manager) find your application icon first.
