View 15 RepliesI'm trying to change the default icon of my program to something else. Specifcally, the one that is associated with the executable file.I was under the impression that if you set the icon property on the main form, that it will carry over to everything else. when I try to set the icon, I get an error message stating that "The arugment 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as an icon. I have a 32x32 icon that is saves as .ico but it doesn't work.

Reason for needing to change exe is for a small game creator so everyone doesn't have same exe.

View 2 RepliesI am searching for some code to help me take the bitmap contents of picturebox1 and convert it into an icon (*.ico) to save.

View 2 RepliesI want to change the icon on the systray during runtime, I've got this bit of code after googling my question.
Dim ico As New Icon(MYPATH & "CDROM01.ICO")
NotifyIcon1.Icon = ico
The thing is mypath can be different between running the prog in the IDE and when it's installed, where is the best place for the icon, and what would the path be?
What I am trying to do is change the icon of a form at either runtime or if a button was pressed. I have had no luck...the only way I found was
vb
Form1.Icon = LoadPicture("c:myicon.ico")
...but I can't use "LoadPicture"
Not much I can think to give in the way of details..
Im writing a app using vb.net, which has multiple front ends e.g a windows service and a windows forms app. Ive got all my business logic and database stuff compiled into 1 project (producing a dll) then the different front ends as different projects calling the dll.
In the backend / dll project Im connecting to 2 databases using app.config to store the connection strings and DataSets / TableAdapters. This all works fine .... Until
When I deploy the windows app, it deploys the exe and the dll produced by the backend project. when its installed on a client PC, Im need to point the app at a different db server and therefore need to change the connectionstring, but its packaged up in the dll.
is there any way I can use a settings file within my windows app (therefore deployed with my windows app) where I can define the connectionstring, which onload gets passsed through into my dll, so the backend connects the correct database. I know how to pass standard settings through (strings etc) but the my.settings.connectionstrings seem to be readonly.
i have a program i've made a while, and one of the users wants to be able to load his own images to the background instead of the plain grey that is there now. i've searched and searched, and basically can get this working
BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:UsersMeFileName.png")
i just slapped that onto a button just to get it to work as i was experimenting. but that only works for a file of that name, on my computer, in that folder. what i'm looking to do is get it so a user can browse his own directories for images and upload them as the background on the form. and be able to save the settings as well. but so far i have only seen different ways to load preset images that you can load. if it's even possible? i'd assume that you'd use the openfiledialog command, but i'm not that well versed in vb as of yet.
I'm trying to change a forms title at runtime where it = my textbox's text. But I can't even get it to change to "test". When I try to google it, it comes up with vb6's

I have a forms application and I have multiple localizations for it. I've figured out how to add a button to a form, to change the localization and then read all the labels/etc and change them to the other language.What I would want to do instead now is click a button and it changes to the other language the current form but also the entire application so that any other windows opened while the application is open open in that other language.[code]This is the code I use when a button is clicked on a form to change it to Hindi the current form. However I want to when the button is clicked, change application to continue to run on that localization instead for the remainder of the time it is open.[code]

Me.Controls("OvalShape" & Count).Size = New System.Drawing.Size(20, 20)
Next Count
The above throws error when executed.
