how to add an icon to a user control - I'm talking about the icon that shows up in the toolbox. I have found some articles on the Microsoft site, but honestly they are so complicated and esoteric that I simply cannot follow them - it's like every synaps in my brain is misfiring when I try to read it!
I would love to see a very simple example of how this should be done.
I've tried embedding the image into the resources, setting the build action to Embedded Resource, creating a ResourceFinder class (as per MS advice) and then preceding the class with:
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(ResourceFinder), "ExposureMeter.Exposure.bmp")>
.. but so far I feel like I'm shouting into a cave without a single bat flying out...

I am really confused! My program doesn't work if I don't have Visual Studio here in my PC. To test it I have uninstalled Visual Studio. But my program doesn't work though Flash Player is present there (I have used Flash animation in the first form).
To be more sure about it I have installed Flash. But it's not working! That means the Flash animation file (.swf) is not making a problem! It needs support from Visual Studio to start. Doesn't it mean that some files are not attached with a setup file as a result it needs Visual Studio to run? Let me tell you how I create a setup file of my program.

When I click on the icon of my program it shows the error message

I wrote a visual basic program whose icon displays "WindowsApplication1" when I mouseover it. Is there a property somewhere you can change so that it will display the name of your program instead? I'm sure this is really simple to change but I just can't find where the property is in the IDE.
View 11 RepliesI found some VB6 code over here to get and set icons on the desktop.After converting it to VB.NET and making some minor modifications it should simply save the icon's locations at startup into an array of POINT structures, set all icons to random locations when a button is pressed and put the icons back when the applications exits. When I start the app all icons dissapear and nothing happens when the button is pressed or when I exit (I can get the icons back by aligning them by grid).The VB6 to VB.NET converter gives me a warning when i try to marshal the POINT structure saying that i need special conversion for marshaling non bittable types.
Here's the code:

Imports Project1.Declarations
