Adding an icon to the application taskbar

[Baal80]

Hello everybody,

I'd like to add an icon to my application's titlebar (to the left of the
minimize icon). And no, it will not be the icon to minimize application to
tray ;)

Nevertheless, I don't have a clue where to start (I'm kinda new to this).
Any hints/suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!

Regards,

In your Form properties, there is a property for icon!

The titlebar is part of the so called non-client area of the window.
It has its own set of messages for input and drawing. Unfortunately
they aren't exposed by Winforms so you have to override the WndProc
method and handle the messages yourself. For custom drawing
specifically, you want to handle the WM_NCPAINT message. You can
probably find examples by googling that message name.
