[RESOLVED][2005] File Icons

[tylerm]

I'm trying to create file associations for 2 file types if the user checks the box. This works just fine in Inno Setup.

What I do need to know is how to assign multiple icons to an EXE. It's kind of hard to explain. For example, when you go to Change Icon and you select TestApp.exe it shows a list of icons inside that EXE. My problem is that it only shows the main icon I used under My Project -> Application -> Icon:



The above image shows what icons I have listed in the application icon field, but when I compile and go to see what icons I can use it only shows the default:

I am not sure if you can change icons after the .exe is created......Could you create an imagelist and add the icon pictures there? Then have a form or panel with images set to each picture in your image list. Once they select a picture, then maybe you could set the form's Icon property directly so long as they are also in your resource list??

Not sure, doin this from top of my head....

I don't want to change the EXE's icon. I guess I explained this wrong. When I was working with Inno Setup, it works like this:
Root: HKCR; Subkey: TestApp\DefaultIcon; ValueType: string; ValueName: ; ValueData: {app}\TestApp.exe,0

The last 0 means the first icon in the EXE. 1 would be the second icon.

How can I assign multiple icons in an executable so for one file type I can set TestApp.exe,1 and for another file type, TestApp.exe,2 while keeping the visible EXE icon as 0.

That worked perfectly. Just incase you are all wondering:

Open your .vbproj and replace:

<ApplicationIcon></ApplicationIcon>

with:

<Win32Resource>youResourceFile.res</Win32Resource>

Final Result:
