I'm trying to set the Icon in VS2010. I go to Project>>Properties. Then I click on Application, but ICON is "greyed out" with the select as (Default Icon). How can I ungrey out ICON so that I can set the icon for the dll. Icon 32x32 .ico file is built and has been added as a resource.
Anybody know why Icon is greyed out in Application Properties.
I have a icon for my application that I set in the project properties window there is a little drop down box to browse to the icon location. While debugging everything is good. Once I build the app and place it on a PC and manually start the app all is good. My app starts with windows and now every time the program goes to start I get an error that the icon cannot be found in the DocumentandSettingUSERNAME folder. So the question is do I have to place my app icon in this folder? In design I have the icon in the binDebug folder and that is were I point to in the Project properties page. I am using VS 2008 VB.net.
I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon. The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.
Is it possible to disable a maskedtextbox and not have it greyed out? I have several on my form, some of them I allow input and some I don't. I'd like to have the enabled boxes one color and the disabled another color.
I have been trying to add an SQLDataAdapter control onto a webform in Visual Basic 2008 professional and Express editions. This control and others remain greyed out even when selected; they can only be seen when 'Show All' is selected in the toolbox. Is it that these controls are not available in the type of form?
I've checked various forums but have not seen a clear answer. I've tried some of the solutions proposed but none has worked. I've also reinstalled the application; then uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, but to no avail.
So the code below is called when a user selects Save on an ExtJS popup modal window. This window ONLY contains a combobox. Now, sometimes when a user saves this, and then re-opens it later on, the combobox will appear BEHIND the window all grayed out, unable to get to. Other times, it will be fine and work, and no difference in events happening either time, just complete utter inconsistency.
I'm trying to add a custom panel to my toolbox using a dll file, but when I add it as a reference it only appears as greyed out - and this is only after I click "Show All" in the toolbox.Everything builds fine in the Class Library project I used to create the custom control. Here is the simple
Imports System.Windows.Forms Public Class pnDoubleBuffered Inherits Windows.Forms.Panel Public Sub New()
[code]....
I build the project, open my main project where I want to use the control. Then I click "Choose All" from the toolbox and add the reference using ".NET Frameworks Components". I find my dll file and click OK. Then nothing is added to the toolbox. I manage to see the control greyed out when I click the "Show All" option.

I'm at the code cleanup/little fixes stage of finishing my program and I'm trying to set the application icon. In the project properties I've chosen my icon file. It displays correctly in the taskbar, detail view, etc. However, it does not display when viewed on the desktop ("tiles" view) or when Alt+Tabbing.

I created .ico file for my application and indicated it in Icon property of the main form in VB 2010 Express. However when I build my application the .exe file has standard form icon, although when I run .exe I see created icon in form caption area. I even created 2 versions of the icon (32x32 and 16x16) in order to see if this is related to size.Is this something related to VB Express or I am missing something? Do I need to do something additionally to assign icon to .exe file when viewed in explorer window?

To restore an application from "minimize to system tray" mode to "Normal" mode (visible) from another application, I am using "Showwindow" method of "user32.dll". The API is working as expected i.e. displaying the application on Normal mode. Moreover, I want to remove that application's System tray icon as soon as its mode changes from "minimize to system tray" to "Normal".I had tried using "Shell_NotifyIcon" method of "shell32.dll" by passing "NIM_DELETE" & reference of "NOTIFYICONDATA" but no luck.The API method declaration is as follows: Shared Function Shell_NotifyIcon(ByVal dwMessage As UInteger, ByRef pnid As NOTIFYICONDATA) As Boolean.

I have been working with the Notify Icon to make it easier for some who prefer minimizing an application into the notification bar rather than the task bar. I have a drop down item that allows the user to Show in Notification area if checked. If it's not checked, then the form reverts back to default with the task bar. However, when this is checked and I minimize the form, I can not open the form from the notification tray. The problem is when the notify icon is visible and clicked, I need it to run code. If the form is minimized, I want it to show the app when I click the icon.
Here is my code: Private Sub ShowInTaskbarToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ShowInTaskbarToolStripMenuItem.Click If ShowInTaskbarToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True Then NotifyIcon1.Visible = True [Code] .....
