Application Icon Image Doesn't Show In Taskbar In "small Icon" Setting
May 4, 2011
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.

I've just changed the Icon for my application in the project->Properties->Application tab. However when running it's still the old (small) icon in the taskbar. How is this changed?

Got an annoying issue it's Visual Basic 2010 I changed icon where the assembly name.I got a good icon it has lots of sizes, or I tried diff sizes like 64x64 128x128 nothing seems to work I only see the icon when i do View > Details so it's small icons in the folder, but if i have view large icons It doesn't work. I even used the same icon on VS 2008 and it worked.

Why is it that the icon of my form appears only when I am running it in my IDE. When I publish my program and running it in Windows, the icon does not appear at the taskbar, what appears is a default icon instead.

I'm working on one desktop application and need to recognize if/when user clicks on the application icon in taskbar(when application is running). So, it's about app. icon in taskbar to systry. You know application is running, user open a few more applications(word, email client ...) and then when he wants to work again with application he'll click on the aaplication icon in taskbar. I need to catch that click and do some stuff in the app.

My vb app uses an icon which is 128x128, which looks fine on the desktop. But when viewed in a folder with View set to Extra Large Icons its size doesn't change - it is too small (smaller than 128x128). Any ideas how I can rectify this?

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.

The icon on my app should be the one on the taskbar. But its showing up as an older icon I used. I know it's not the icon file. It must be the app itself. What do I do?

I am developing a windowsforms app in VS 2008. I have set the icon in the project properties. It is a tray application. The icon appears properly in the tray and in the taskbar when the application is maximized, but the icon does not show when I right click on the taskbar icon. There are 3 choices: My Program Name, Pin this program to taskbar, and Close Window. This is a built in context menu, but I have no idea how to get my icon in the first item in the list, which is my program.

I want to add an animated taskbar icon to my WPF project. I figured I would just use the Icon property, but I'm fairly new to WPF, and I dont know how to do it. In Winforms I would create a thread like this:[code]But I can't find a Window.Dispatcher to use this approach in WPF. I also see something about "BeginAnimation" in the Icon Property?

I'm developing a VB.NET WinForms application, and I'm using lots of small 16x16 32bit icons everywhere; most of which are nested behind tabs or otherwise invisible. I'm putting all of them in one big ImageList control, it seems easier to manage them from there.My question is, is this smart? I'm using the imagelist even in buttons, and controls that could otherwise have an image assigned more directly (e.g., through the Image property).
Note that I use ImageKey and have no (current) need for ImageIndex.Does it have a negative/positive effect on performance?

I'm working on a project with FTPwebrequest methods, the problem is that every time the program executes a FTP command such as download/upload/connect, It completely freezes the form. However I need a progressbar to keep the user updated of the download status. The only way I can see this working is applying the progressbar to a notifyicon(taskbar).

I am using the Win32API function EnumWindows to populate a listview with the window text, handle. In this listview I would also like to populate the SmallImageList from an ImageList control of the window's small icon attribute.Now, I have the window handle for each, and I understand their is a number of ways to go about this. I have tried using SendMessage, sending the WM_GETICON value for ICON_SMALL...but that always returns zero.I've read something too about populating a WindowClass structure to get an icon for a particular window.

I've create a VB2008 app that upon clicking the applications Start button it creates an icon in the taskbar that is visible to the user upon creation, it also shows a balloon tip at the time of creation. This all works great when the program starts but once the balloon tip timeout value has elaped, the icon, in Windows 7, disappears from the visible portion of the taskbar and becomes hidden, which is only visible if the user shows the hidden icons.
My question is this...... In the VB2008 program is there any way to set the behavior of the icon so that it remains visible on the taskbar instead of allowing the icon to become hidden?
The original design of the program was to get an environmental variable, display the value of that variable in the balloontip, hide the form and then check every 10 minutes for a change in that environmental variable. Once the form was hidden the user could see that the program was running by the presence of the icon in the taskbar and if they hovered over the icon it would display the current value of the external variable. Also if the user wanted to return the form to it's full size all they had to do was click on the taskbar icon. With Windows 7 if I hide the form and the icon is not visible in the taskbar because it too is also hiddem this may create a problem for the user as they may not even be aware that Windows 7 hides the icon. So....Is there anyway to insure that the icon remains in the Windows 7 taskbar or is this a case where I need to re-evaluate my program design?

I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load()
Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico")
Me.Icon = ico
End Sub

I'm not sure exactly if the folder icon is in shell32.dll, but nonetheless if it is.Basically, whenever I come across a folder in a FileSystem list, I want to add the icon for a folder to the image list that I am using for the ListView. The problem is that I'm not sure how to reference a specific icon location in a icon collection in a dll.Is this possible with Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon and shell32.dll?
