    Binding an application icon

    I used VC .NET 2002 to produce a Win32 app, which is coming along nicely. However, I can't figure out how to bind an application icon to the executable (in Windows Explorer, the executable has a generic icon it got from wizard).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks, RD

    Wizard inserts set of generic icons into a resource file. When window class is registered, this set’ ID is used to LoadIcon for hIcon member of WNDCLASSEX structure.

    Creating new set and using it to load, or replacing particular device images (16x16) in existing set, you will change icon appearance.

    I had changed the icon in the resource editor, but for some reason the original ones were still being used.

    I managed to correct the problem after deleting the originals.

    Thanks, RD
