Icons in Windows Builds

[Albert Wallace]

The Windows builds of compiled software, for me, no longer have an icon. Obviously, I’ve missed something. Can any of you help?

Windows 10, latest version, Xojo, latest version. Thanks!

More data needed to give an opinion, an advice.

 

I put the icon in the App --> Icon and that is all.

Hi Albert,

This is a known issue and it’s been discussed as relating to 64bit Windows builds for some time now. No answer forthcoming in the near future. Others are using a resource editor after the fact to add them.

HTH,
Tim

Thank you, Emile and Tim,

I realize now that I have not have not accurately described the problem, but perhaps the same answers would be given. It is the documents that are saved by the application that are not receiving an icon, although if I run a debug build of the Windows app on a Mac computer, it does.

Document icons/associations are set up in the Windows registry as far as I
know.

You can either set this up on first run (In your Xojo code) or let your
Installer do it.

I think Xojo has documented this for InnoSetup; I had to puzzle it out for
Advance Installer.

USED CODE… used code… !!!

 

I try: what are you using to save your data to disk:

a. TextOutputStream ?

b. BinaryStream ?

 

What kind of data are you saving to disk ?

 

Answer depends on your answers: a or b.

You determine the use of a or b when you ask the second question (What kind of data am I saving to disk ?)

 

At last, you’d better use BinaryStream -in cnjunction of a custom file extension if you want to be able to see your custom icon.

 

Did you anwser these questions ?

a. 32 or 64 bits compilation,

b. Used Windows version ?

 

and so on.
