Setting the icon when you use Shift-Tab

UJ
How do you set the icon for when somebody presses Shift-Tab ? I have already
set the application icon and the form icon but they aren't showing up in
Shift-Tab.

TIA - Jeff

UJ,

You probably mean Alt+Tab because Shift+Tab does the same as Tab (changes
focus), but backwards.

Alt+Tab shows only windows that are visible in the task bar. If you have
your form's ShowInTaskbar property set to *false* you won't see it there.

If you are in the debugger, you might be seeing the yourapp.vshost exe : try
running the exe directly and see if it starts behaving

There are a number of things about using unmanaged resources in Windows Forms programming that is unclear to me. In C++, if you loaded an icon resource using "ExtractIcon()", the resource was valid until you called "DestroyIcon()". If you didn't, you had a leak. In C#, I need to load icons from unmanaged programs (.exe, dll) at run time...
