icon added but not visible

[Gerrit Broekhuis]

Hi,

I added a default icon for my application by selecting the main program (start.prg), select Project Info --> Project --> Attach Icon. I added the icon (32x32 pixels) and it is shown in the small preview box. I'm using VFP8 SP1.

After compiling the icon is not visible in the upper left of my application screen.

What am I overlooking?

Regards,

Gerrit

sorry to ask what may be the obvious - but have you added it as the form icon?

I added the icon (32x32 pixels)

According to the help file.

If you want to display your own icon, create an icon (.ico) file with two images: one small (16-by-16) and one standard (32-by-32). Create both images as 16-color icons.

Gerrit,
You need to add just one line of code in your startup (main?) .PRG.

_Screen.Icon = "MyApp.ICO" && same as you attached to the Project

Note: You'll also need to include this icon file in the Project or provide it with your app's installation.
