Application icon problem

[Hans Georg Ulrich]

After changing to Visual Studio.Net and C++ V7 (and from WinNT to Win2K), I cannot change the application icon of my Visual C++ 7.0 application. On my developer machine, I can only see the standard MFC icon, although this was explicitly removed from the app's resources. When the application is installed on another machine, it correctly displays its custom icon. Any ideas ? Thank you !

If you move your .exe out of the release directory, is the icon still wrong ? ~RaGE();

[Hans Georg Ulrich]

Yes, in the app. The desktop link (I made one) displays the correct icon !

1. Have you Rebuilt All? 2. In Doc/View architecture, distinguish between application and document icon (the link may display custom application icon, and the document icon may still be wizard-generated. Regards, BB

(1) Yes, I rebuilt (2) It is not the problem with app/doc icon, but the app has the MFC default icon.

When editing the icon, did you replace every device type? If you don't know what I'm talking about, when editing the icon there is a combobox labeled device. Icons can have different sizes and color depths. Make sure to change them all. Joel Lucsy

The desktop link uses the 32*32 icon, whereas the app (in the explorer) uses the 16*16 one. Did you change both of them (Check that ComboBox in the ressource editor...) ~RaGE();

[Hans Georg Ulrich]

Yes, there are different icons under the different device types. That's strange. Thank you for pointing to the solution.

I think I had such problem once, but I can't remember clearly what the cause exactly was. You may try deleting all compiler-generated stuff (Debug\ and Release\ dirs, .aps, .ncb ...) and unused resource IDs, then build again. Happy Easter! BB
