After creating the VB Project how do you get it to have the Icon you want? instead of the default. I am running on win 2000 Pro.

Thank you

Point the Icon property of a form at the desired Icon. It will be fetched and icluded on the form (no need to distribute). Now go to Project Propeties / Make and set Application Icon from one of the forms.

I create icons with Visual C++ ICON facility...File / New / Files / Icon (no C++ coding needed. Generate Forms/Controls Resizing/Tabbing Class
Compare Code (Text)
Generate Sort Class in VB or VBScript
 
Could you please give more detail on where the Icon property
is. That is what I did is created a Icon in C++ but I am still not able to change the Icon after making it a .exe program.

Thanks for your help Live to learn or die trying
 
click form.... and look over to the properties window... scroll down undill you see "icon" and click that and then direct it to your icon :) also if you have multiple icons in a project for each folder.. if you look in the project manager.. right click the project and goto 'project' properties then click the make tab.. and point your attention to the icon pull down menu.. this way you can pull icons from other forms in your project.. :) have fun! in the begining man created code.
in the end code will create man.
clones are coming only matter of time.
examples?
 
Thank you SO much that was it.
