Change icon in Windows Taskbar

[Stefano1989]

Good morning to everyone,

i try to explain my problem.

Is possible to change the executable (.exe) icon in Windows taskbar using LabVIEW code?

Is there any methods or trick to change the taskbar icon, using a different icon from the icon used in
the application builder?

Thank you.

There is a call to a system function that can change the applications icon.

This seems to be the essential code. Needs some editing if you want to use this in 64-bit LabVIEW.

It's still there.  Are you logged into your LAVA account?  The post Rolfk provided is essentially the same thing as what is posted on LAVA.

Thanks for the help, I was not logged into LAVA. I used Rolfk link and that also worked for my application, thanks again!
