Hello everyone, i've successfully migrated my application from PB 2017 R3 to PB 2019 R2. Everything working fine, but i've noticed a strange behaviour of the application icon. It's showing correctly in the application additional properties inside PB ide and in the upper left corner of the mdi app frame during runtime.
But It doens't show up in the windows 10 app toolbar. Any ideas?

i'll add a pair of screenshots to make my question more understandable

tia,

  simone

Hi Simone,

Appeon has passed the bug report through with priority P2, so I think we can set this question as answered?

regards,

We are having the same issue now in PB2019 R3 2670.  The icon shows up in dev mode but not in compiled.

Also in File Manager the PB12.6 version shows the icon, the PB2019 R3  version does not

I've updated the bug report with the same text and a request to publish this kind of early fixes on the download website for any unaware users.

Thank you very much.

I build via orcascript:  

build executable "bin\myapp.exe" "exec\resource\myapp.ico" "exec\resource\resource.pbr" "" newvstylecontrols

 

building this way, i have no problem with the icon

 

So, i think it could very well be a bug when building in the IDE, and possibly/probably the PBC

no idea. I don't even have a project for my applications. I only build with orcascript or with powergen. I have everything on a VM since i was running the beta before, it is really just a build machine.

HI Miguel ... ticket received!

I was able to replicate this issue on any EXE - even when the App uses a lower quality .ICO image. :-(

Thanks for setting the bug to P2, yes I agree, this would be quite an obstacle for any company.

I've tried to see if we could use a tool like http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/#download to change the icon in the executable, once it's build, but have not been able to get that to work.

I don't think its the image in the EXE that is the issue as it displays OK in File Manager and on the Window(s) at App execution time. It's just when you see the Window icon on the W10 task bar. BTW: Apps built and executed via the PB2019 MR (build 2170) display the icon correctly on the W10 taskbar. So this is definitely an R2 issue. :-(

I've made a small test application, see attached:

It uses a pbr file with an icon.

This is a piece of exported code of my application object. On the left PB 2017 R3, on the right PB 2019R2, so there's definitely at least be a change (and probably a good one):

Previously, we would loose the icon now and then and have to re-assign it. The icon was saved somewhere in an attribute of the pbl or the directory I seem to remember. So the effort is a good one, to include it now in the object.

I'll try to make a test application to report this as a bug, or maybe I figure out what's needed to make it work, since Michael doesn't seem to have the problem.

My manager hates the themes, so I'm not using them either.

My executable in the sample application is 32 bit, PBD. I've tried without pbd, machine code, p-code, without pbr, etc. It just doesn't work. Maybe it's a windows 10 problem, I would not be surprised.

works fine for me.  Its on the app bar as well as start menu.  

 

Do you see the icon on the exe in the folder where the application is installed? 

How did you install the application?

How did you put the icon on the app bar?
