Setting Icons for Applications

How do I Set the Icon for My Application?

When you are creating your own application, you will probably want your own unique icon. You set this internally to the project, as shown below.

Setting the icon for your application

1. Select File->Application Properties (Ctrl+Shift+P).

2. Type in the icon file name for the icon you want, or use zoom to select the file.

3. Click OK.

Now, when you run the application, you will see the icon at the upper left hand side of the window. You will also see it on the taskbar, and when you press Alt+Tab to switch between windows.

Hint: It is best not to use a hard-coded path name for this sort of internal file, since your user will probably have a different setup than you do. The default path will be your working directory (where the project EDP file is), so you can put your image file there, as in the example, or use a relative sub-directory.
