Changing Icon in LabVIEW Title bar of a '.vi'

[GerdW]

Hi Shrekt,

in the executable you should hide the toolbar! Users should not get confused by LabView-specific items near the menu line...

Instead make your own controls and/or menus...

I think we have to be clear, as different people use the terms icon to mean different things. Which icon are you referring to? The Application Builder allows you to change the executable's icon. See here: Customizing an Icon for an Executable Created in LabVIEW.

I would like to have every pop up VI in the LabView progam with different Title icon - programmatically after start VI. How to do it?

I seen it in few years ago in the 7,0 version program. But now I didnt found it. Help me with the issue.

I know only method during exe making, but it is not same, because it take one icon for whole programm.

I need it for the 7.1Labview still.

Pleas send me solution on the vpetrov2@visteon.com

Thank you Vladimir

I can't save back to 7.1, but here's how this can be done. This calls the SendMessage Windows API function to change the icon of the window. Someone posted this somewhere once and I removed a lot of the original code to make it easier to see which calls are being made. The functions are all in user32.dll and you should note that there are places where the values are in hex:

I'm also attaching the original saved back to 8.0. It's broken and missing some OpenG dependencies, but if you can find someone to backsave it for you, you should probably be able to use it.

Thank you very much for solution.

I will try.

7,1 I mentioned regarding back compatibility of the functionality of the solution.

See you Vladimir

In Build Specifications/icon section, you can create 2 icons. The one 32x32 will be used as exe icon, the one 16x16 will be used as title icon and file icon.
