You can add a custom icon for a form by setting it's Icon property. Or you can change the .exe icon by going to the Make Tab on the Project Property sheet. To create an icon (.ico) file, if you have VC++, you can start a new project, go to File/New and select the Files tab. From there select the Icon File to open up the editor.

If you dont have VC++ you can download a number of free or trialware utilities for
creating icons. One that I know of is MicroAngelo. Try a google search for more.
HTH

If you use VC++, note that the STANDARD (32x32) ICON becomes the desktop shortcut type of ICON for the executable, and the SMALL (16x16) becomes the titlebar/taskbar ICON for the executable - one .ICO file serves both purposes.

We associated the ICON with our MDI Parent form (under form properties) and then under PROJECT/PROPERTIES/Make Tab we set the ICON to that FORM.

Best icon editor out there is Microangelo but it cost a little. Most recent version supports alpha blending as well.

Do a search on here for Imagedit.exe. I posted the Imagedit.exe that comes with VB6. If you have the CD its on there. :thumb:
