Re: How to add Application Icon in About window for Carbon App in Nib file?

I tried as you said, but SetControlData return err -30591, where I was
wrong?
I am sure the IconRef I get was correct.
Because I can use PlotIconRef to display the icon.

static const ControlID kAboutBoxIconID = { 'abou', 5 }; //same with
icon control in IB
OSStatus err = noErr;
ProcessSerialNumber psn = { 0, kCurrentProcess };
ControlRef iconControl;
FSRef ref;
FSSpec appFileSpec;
IconRef iconRef;

if(err == noErr)
err = GetProcessBundleLocation( &psn, &ref );

if(err == noErr)
err = FSGetCatalogInfo( &ref, kFSCatInfoNone, NULL, NULL,
&appFileSpec, NULL );

if( err == noErr )
err = GetIconRefFromFile ( (const FSSpec *) &appFileSpec,
&iconRef, nil );

if(err == noErr)
err = GetControlByID( gAboutWindow, &kAboutBoxIconID, &iconControl );

if( err == noErr )
err = SetControlData( iconControl, 0, kControlIconContentTag,
sizeof(IconRef), (Ptr) &iconRef );
