I have been able to successfully add my custom to icon to the main form (Form1), but I can't seem to make my final EXE have that icon. I went to Project->Options, clicked on the Application tab, and then selected my custom icon for the Application Settings, but it still won't work. The icon always ends up being the default C++ builder icon (you know, the one with the buildings). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That is not the same thing. That merely sets up an overriding icon using the Registry. That does onto address the true issue of the desired icon not being compiled directly into the executable correctly. Gambit --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Often this is because you have added a .rc or .res file to your project that has the name "projectname.rc/res". The IDE uses projectname.res to store the icon in it, and they will take turns stomping on each other. -- Jonathan Arnold C/C++/CBuilder Keen Advice: http://www.keen.com/categories/categorylist_expand.asp?sid=5156620 Comprehensive C++Builder link site: http://www.buddydog.org/C++Builder/c++builder.html Back to top Morten Espeland Guest Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2003 7:35 am    Post subject: Re: final EXE icon - having trouble Also, I remember from trouble I had with earlier versions of Builder that I had this trouble if the Sample Components package was checked.

Often this is because you have added a .rc or .res file to your project that has the name "projectname.rc/res". The IDE uses projectname.res to store the icon in it, and they will take turns stomping on each other. Normally when I have this problem, I go to project|remove from project. I find the listing for projectname.res and remove it. The thing is, I never create a resource file with the project name because I know this will happen. So Jonathon's advice is correct and usually works. But Builder (I think) generates a resource file with the project name. It seems that this either incorrectly gets put into the project or the file is somehow corrupted but in any case, just removing it from the project seems to solve the problem. I also think that there was some link to the version info being enabled but I don't use this feature.

The problem was with the components from the samples palette. Some of them like CGauge linked the delphi torch icon. When I removed the component and corresponding #pragma link directive everything was ok.
