How do I place an Image on an *.exe, Can anyone help me?
Like Thomasellis said, what do you want the picture on?, a form?, a button?, to appear when you start a vb program?
I want it to be on the executable, when i compile the executable I want it to have an image on it. I don't want it to an image on the form or a button. just like anyother exe on my desktop it has a picture on it and I wanted know how.
Do you mean the icon that you click on from the desktop? ( i.e. the computer on 'my computer', the bin on 'recycle bin' ) etc?.
If you do mean that then right click on the icon that's already there, goto
properties -> shortcut -> change icon
you can then change the path to the name of a bitmap which is somewhere on your hard disc, ( make it a small bitmap )
if this isn't what you wanted then type back
well when i send it to someone else the image won't be there, because they won't have the image or path, so how can i make the image embedded right on the exe so when i sent it out it'll stay there.
set the image you want as the icon of any form in your project
the go to project properties
go to make tab
there under application you can select the form and the corresponding icon that you need as the icon for your application
