    Can I get my project to appear with a name (rather than an empty button) in the taskbar without having to turn the forms crummy caption thing on? Aesthetics man, aesthetics!

    I believe it's the SetWIndowText API you need to call in the form_load... it worked for me

    Thanks, Crazy. I should have thought of this question at the time... is there an API call that lets you set the icon in the Taskbar too?

    Haven't figured that out yet.. I'm sure it's possible though...
    might need to subclass the form for that and catch the WM_PAINT msg, I believe in VC++ that's the way the wizard implements the code for drawing the icon, but I haven't look at that closer, since it wasn't urgent for me.
    Hope this helps
