When compiling your application, how do you force the executable to
display your icon. It appears it's grapping the first icon it finds,
which happens to be an icon from a third party library.

Geoff,

Usually I put my application icon with a name such as "__AppIcon" to force
it to be the first icon that the app sees.

Regards,
Willie

Geoff,

I think this one in the EXE app will do the trick:
RESOURCE IDI_STANDARDICON icon C:\MyIcon.ico

name yours ____AAAAA.ico or similiar, it takes the "lowest"
alphanumeric one

<g> ...haven't we all grappled with this one.

It is all in the naming. The lowest alphabetically named resource is
picked so your icon's name has to be alphabetically junior to all others
in your application.
