Visual Basic, Window icons in the Alt+Tab list?

Window icons in the Alt+Tab list?

Author	Message
Pearson Wun #1 / 5	Window icons in the Alt+Tab list? I have several modeless forms, each with a different icon. The ShowInTaskbar property is set to True. In the taskbar, each form displays the correct icon. However, if I bring up the Alt+Tab list... all of the forms display the main program icon instead of their individual icons!!! Any ideas how to fix this? Maybe a Win32 API call or something? Thanks in advance, Pearson

John #2 / 5	Window icons in the Alt+Tab list? The Alt-Tab list shows the main app's icon, not the currently displayed form's icon. Re-compile your app using the desired icon and try again. -- John Tabor http://members.bellatlantic.net/~jftabor __________ I have several modeless forms, each with a different icon.

pearsonw.. #3 / 5	Window icons in the Alt+Tab list? I guess I should have been more clear in my description: * I have multiple modeless forms that are all being displayed at the same time. * These forms have different icons. * The Alt+Tab list shows one icon for each form. The problem is that this icon always seems to be the main app's icon, not the icon for the respective form. * (In the Taskbar, the correct icon is shown for each form.) Is it possible to get the Alt+Tab list to show the correct icon for each form listed? If so, how would I accomplish this.

John #4 / 5	Window icons in the Alt+Tab list? I don't think your mission is possible. Windows uses the app icon - not the form icon - in the Alt-Tab list. -- John Tabor http://members.bellatlantic.net/~jftabor __________ I guess I should have been more clear in my description: * I have multiple modeless forms that are all being displayed at the same time. * These forms have different icons. * The Alt+Tab list shows one icon for each form.

Ross Watso #5 / 5	Window icons in the Alt+Tab list? Pearson, take a look at the example at http:\\www.alchemy-software.demon.co.uk\vb.html it may well do what you want (or at least provide a starting point).
