Hi 

 

In the project painter, how can I specify an Icon to associate with the exe generated ?

(or on PBC  .. the stand alone compiler)

Using pb2019R3

 

Thanks

Open the application object:


In the upper right pane, click on  ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES:


Click on the ICON tabpage:

 

TYou are now here:


Ensure that the icon is located in a folder that is visible to the application.
Select the icon/image you want to use.
Strip away the PATH, leaving only the filename.
APPLY.
SAVE.
EXit all the way to the Library Painter.
Regenerate.
Run to test.

Hi Steen;

  This has always been controlled via the PB App's Application Object properties within the App Painter.

Tip: Make sure that you only specify the ICO file with no path.

And make sure the ICO file (and any other images) is available either in the directory being used to compile the app, or can be found with the PATH environment variable.

I'm not sure what version/build this started but in 2019-R3 the icon name is stored in the application source code in addition to the hidden binary 'pra' object. You might have to change it and save for the source code to be updated.

I wonder if the PBC will honor that.
