    Question creating an icon

    How can I create my own icon ??
    I tried to edit one with Paint and then changed it to a .ico
    but the final result is never as expected and anyway vb returns
    "invalid property value" when I try to replace the icon property of a project with my home made icon
    Does it need specials dimentions ??
    Does the same drawing is used for the desktop appearance and for the minimised form of a form ??
    Thanks

    Let's put it this way... a BMP is not an ICO. No matter you rename it... it's still a bitmap file. You have to convert it, or create an ICO directly.

    If you have VC++, you can create Icons with that. Click File->New
    Then click the files tab when the dialog comes up. Then click the Icon one....
