Hi!

VFP re-loads (redefines on a Windows level) the main app window when Icon is redefined. This is because this Icon is displayed on Windows level as some sort of resource. You should use Windows API functions if you want make it go smoother. Take a look, for example, to the Win API functions "SetClassLong" and "LoadIcon". I could not help you much here - I just found them in MSDN help, but did not worked with them.

HTH.

I was thinking of changing my applications icon in rotation with this series of icons whenever the app was busy. However, I find two things happen whenever the icon is changed (a) my app always moves to the right most position on the taskbar after any other app that is running and (b) there is a noticable flicker on the taskbar. Is this normal or should I be doing something besides _SCREEN.ICON = "icon1.ico", etc?
