Hi!
I would like to change the icon of my exe file.
How can I do that?
I saw the Icon combo box into my project properties, but this combo box is empty!

Thanks a lot for your help!

I believe the following works - if not let me know.
Goto into Project .... ProjectProperties. Click on Make tab.
In the application section set the Icon for your start-up form to the one that you want to appear for the .exe file. Then when the program is packaged this is the icon that appears for the .exe file.

Did you set an icon in the Icon property of the form?

I didn't set an Icon in the Icon property of the form, because my project hasn't forms.
It's just an .exe file that reads data from a SQL server and puts it into MDB files. This program will work as a scheduled task!

What can I do?

If you add a resource file, add an icon, call it "0" ("'s around it are all right). The program will use that graphic for the icon.

(The resource creator is in the addins, called "VB 6 Resource Editor" set it to loaded/startup)

It's then visible on the toolbar, it's a green block like icon with a small hand (left of the coordinate section).

Thank you! I'll try it!

magikandrea...

just in case you need a way to change a compiled version of your program... post back and i might have a way to patch your program to have a different icon..

others said it was not possible, but i was once able to change the icon of an executable from vb.

just in case yer interested.

I am very interested in a way of doing that vbgen, want to share the "secret"?

i have to say, trying this will risk the functionality of the program, and of the system.

i tried it once, and i had to reinstall windows.

sure about this?

heh... bring it on (i doubt you had to reinstall windows :p)

After you've reinstalled windows remember to come back and tell us please

hmm.. if only vbgen would "share" his method. hmm.. i could guess on how though. open the file, search through it for the icon file, and replace the whole bunch with a new icon.
