Can Alt-TAB taskbar icon be changed for a Bullen FormChanger?
I'll tell ya, Stephen Bullen has freed the slaves with his
CFormChanger UserForm booster. Now, about the form's icon. His (amazingly simple) method behind his .IconPath property: <... hIcon = ExtractIcon(0, msIconPath, 0) 'Set the big (32x32) and small (16x16) icons SendMessage mhWndForm, WM_SETICON, True, hIcon SendMessage mhWndForm, WM_SETICON, False, hIcon does change both the form's and the System Tray icon. But the Alt-TAB task-switching bar icon remains the pesky Excel one. I don't suppose you can change that too? (BTW, its order seems to be the converse of what's desired. When you launch your form (I use a keystroke to do it, e.g. Ctrl-Shift-F), it puts itself BEFORE Excel in the bar's rotation. You must press *Shift- Alt-TAB*, i.e. go backward, to retrieve it. To my mind, it ought to be *ahead* of Excel, and reachable with Alt-TAB instead.) Anyway, is my suspicion that the Alt-TAB icon isn't affected is that, while FormChanger goes a long way toward giving you a fully-separate Windows app, it stop short of that? Stated another way, in a normal fully-functional Win app, do those two SendMessage's suffice to change *all three* icons? Or is a third SendMessage I don't know about required? Thanks much. *** |
