Re: How to add a badge to an icon?

Thanks a lot for your answers. You pointed me in the right direction!

So, I ended up with the following very simple solution. In functions 
that draw the icons, I added a line to draw the badge, like this :


dc.drawIcon(bigIcon, xi, yi);

if (bigIconBadge != NULL)
{
       dc.drawIcon(bigIconBadge, xi, yi);
}

The badge icon (which has transparency) is then correctly displayed 
above the file icon.
