You can set the application icon in the project properties. If you are
using VS.NET, you can draw your icons inside VS.NET.

Yes, drawing the icon in the project is what I had in
mind. I just don't know how to get to that window where
the drawing surface is. This is what I referred to as the
resource editor. May I ask how you access that window in
the project?

Thanks,
TL

Have you already tried to add the icon to your solution and then
doubleclicking it in solution explorer?

(Sorry, I don't have VS.NET at hand at the moment.)

I figured this out, I go to Add New Item/Icon File. Kind
of like MFC where you select a file to add to your
project. The nice thing about VS.Net is that you can do
almost anything in one language (VB.Net) that you can do
in another (C#), just slightly different syntax. This is
so much more convenient than VS6.0.

Thank you for your replies to my post.

Help! I'm an undergraduate doing an MFC assignment using Visual Studio 7 and the resource editor has suddenly starting doing strange stuff. I created a number of new menu items, and the Resource.h file now contains #define statements for them that just don't work, for instance: #define ID_EDIT_INCR 0 #define ID_EDIT_ADD 0 All new Menu IDs are given the value of 0 instead of 130 or whatever

Hello all, I am seeking some help with the following problem. I'm working on an application where I have a resource file, and in this resource file what I want to store is a list of file names (that is, essentially a string array).

I am resurrecting this question (since it got bumped down by more recent posts). This is probably very simple - I need to add a version resource to a DLL project in MSVC++ 2005 Express in order to have version info, copyright, etc. when checking the DLL file properties from Windows Explorer. Any guidance is appreciated.

I have a standard MFC application, every now and then, probably after editing resources or classes it changes the #included statement in the .RC file from resource.h to reasource. I then have to manually edit .RC file to recover. I am using VC2005 on Windows vista ultimate. The project was original ported from VC6 Any idear what could cause this behaviour. Could this be vista releated ?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
