    Changing the icon on the compiled file. {RESOLVED}

    Hello,

    When I compile my program the icon on the file is white square with black trim. How can I change this?

    Thank you!

    Assign the icon you want for your exe to a form in it, then go to Project/YourProject properties, then the "Make" tab, and choose the relevant form from the "icon" dropdown. Then make your exe and it will have the icon you want.

    In the project properties (Project-><projectname> Properties) go to the make tab and select the form that has the form's icon that you want your exe to have (the icon of the form will be the icon of the exe)...

    That or you can add a resource file, add an icon to that and set it's ID to APPICON

    There are various freeware icon editors that can do that. I'm afraid I don't know offhand where you can get one, but Google it and see.
