Setting application icons dynamically

[afryer]

Hi all, its me again. Stuck again. Scanned the forum, but can't see anything relating to this.

Basically what I need to do is change the icon displayed by the form at runtime. I have two icons created (sysok.ico and sysfail.ico). By default the sysok icon is used when the application starts up, but when the code detects a certain error I need to change to the sysfail icon.

Anyone any ideas how to do this?

Cheers

Store your icon in an imagelist.

Then something like...

Form.icon = imagelist.listimages.Item(1)

I would have a look at the forms .Icon Property and Loadpicture(). e.g. You can load a blank icon using:

Form1.Icon = LoadPicture("")

This code could be easily modified to include an actual icon rather than a blank.

Hope this helps

You can also place the icons in a resource file and load them from there.
