Assigning an icon to an executable

[darkman0101]

Assuming that you create a standard exe project with no forms, is it possible to give the project an icon?
The project properties will not let you choose an icon

Thanks

That is true - but just because you include a form in a project does not mean you have to use it (or if you do) show it. I include forms on programs that run in the background so I can draw activex controls on them so the form does get loaded but never displayed.
You can assign your icon to that form - but use sub main for your entry point.

so does that mean that if I never explicity reference the form (or anything on it) that it will never be loaded... and therefore no consume any memory?

 

[sodakotahusker]

Sorry. It will take up memory - but if the form is empty it can't be a significant amount.

if the start Form (properties Form Icon )have a icon you exe have also the icon .
