From: Carlos Rocha on 23 Jul 2010 13:27 Hi, I can successfully create the exe icon. It is shown correctly in the explorer statusbar, but it doesnt in the task bar. I tried everything I could remember. Is there any trick for this? Thanks -- Carlos Rocha

None works. And the exe has only one icon, so no space for icon confusion. It appears allways in the exe, no matter how it is named. Before some experiences (that I can't recall but that shouldn't interfere, like renaming it) the icon shown was the default W7 icon for files without an icon. Now the icon shown is a big X. The resource icon has 4 sizes (16, 24, 32 and 48), all with 32 bit (RGB+Alpha). I can't see anything wrong or different from, let's say, cavo.exe, except that my icon only uses 32bit color depth -- Carlos Rocha
From: Kevin on 24 Jul 2010 03:04 Carlos, I don't know if you are talking about a VO or Vulcan application but I had something similar with a Vulcan app. Not certain but I think removing the resource from the project in Visual Studio and reattaching it seemed to work. In VO you could try forcing the recompilation of the resource and/or defines. Maybe touch the app and reindex the project. Hope this helps.

Hi Kevin, It's a VO application, and yes, I tried all that. This is very strange. It's a multi-image icon, and it appears as ICON_CROUP in any resources editor like any other exe. If I assign a VO standard icon, like oTopWindow:Icon := Icon{ICONQUESTIONMARK}, this icon is shown in the taskband, but the exe icon is still the one created as a resource. I'll try now with icons starting at 4bpp, but it makes no sense. > I don't know if you are talking about a VO or Vulcan application but I > had something similar with a Vulcan app. Not certain but I think > removing the resource from the project in Visual Studio and > reattaching it seemed to work. > > In VO you could try forcing the recompilation of the resource and/or > defines.
