      You can set the Icon in the Project Properties window under Common Properties/Build. Incedentally you can use this to add an application icon to any project by changing the output type to windows application, set the icon, save the properties, then change the output type back to whatever it was before. I use this trick to set application icons for DLLs which can then use the icon in add/remove programs by referencing it in the installer package. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)

I assume you mean that at that tab, there is a 'drop-down' list with all the available icons you can use... Well, in my FORM-LESS project, that list is empty! I suppose it is empty because none of the objects in the project have an 'Icon' property (actually, there is only ONE object, a .bas module). Still needing help... Best regards, Pablo.ar

          there are two ways to get icons into that list. 1) Add any icons to the project and set them to be Embeded Resources. 2) Use the Elipsis button next to the dropdown to browse for the required icon and add it to the project. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)
