Icons in a module

**Icons in a module -** 06-04-2007, 08:52 AM

Does anyone know how to use an icon in the Project Properties (for the icon
in Explorer) when all the project consists of is a module? I cannot find any
help in the help files. I'm using VB5 (no service packs) and no forms or
controls.

If you have the resource editor add-in, use it, add the icon there, set it's
name to ***ure it's the first to be found, ie "aaaaaa", and compile.

Do what Randy said; or do it the lazy way:
add a form, put an icon in it, get the icon from it for your project,
then continue to use Sub Main as start up, and don't show the form
anywhere in your code. No one says you have to use the form.

But the task switcher will show the default "form" icon unless one is set in
a res file.
