This icon is stored in the programname.res file, and when I open this file with the Resource Builder, it is the only correct icon available. The project does include other resource files, but none contains icons, only bitmaps. My problem is that the compiled program still uses the old icon that was previously associated with it. With the XN Resource Editor I can view the resources contained by the executable, and it contains only the one wrong icon. How can I change my application icon correctly? I am using BDS2006! Best regards, Wiljo.

With the XN Resource Editor I can view the resources contained by the executable, and it contains only the one wrong icon. I know of some cases where, e.g. a package might have an icon bound to it and it overrides yours. You could try trimming your used packages list and also turn ON the linker warning to warn on duplicates. --Craig Back to top Guest Posted: Tue May 15, 2007 1:10 pm    Post subject: Re: Problem with application icon Craig Farrell wrote: Quote: Hi, My problem is that the compiled program still uses the old icon that was previously associated with it.

But alas looking into it, our problem is a little bit trickier. I checked the packages we are using, but none of them contain the icon eventually used by the application. I even trimmed the packaged list down to the bare minimum, but to no avail. We only use one package written within our team, but that one doesn't contain any icons at all, just bitmaps. All other packages used, may contain icons, but none contain that particular icon. The old icon, that will simply not remove itself from the application, is our current company logo, but because we are writing several programs, it is hard to see the difference between the programs when they all have the same application icon. That is why we made application specific icons. Some applications accept their new icon, but others do not. They persist on using the old company icon, while no resource contains any reference to it. What might be the difference between those applications that do and those that don't accept their new icon? Might there be something in the bdsproj file we have overlooked? Could someone please help us solve this problem. Wiljo.

I edit the res. files with XN Res. editor and save them (overwriting the original resource). I have noticed that I have to "build all" to get my app to use the new resourcefile! Hope it helps! (I remember that I had the exact same problem as you do a long time ago, but I can't remember what I did to resolve it...)
