Specify Application Icon with C++? Bryan 11-04-2006

So, I'm supposed to deliver a sample to somebody tomorrow and the 1 task I
put off until the end (assigning an icon to the .exe) seems to be giving me
the worst headaches. I've searched a lot, and saw a number of references to
setting the icon field in the applications pane of the project properties.
BUT, that only exists for C# projects. I don't seem to see anything for
windows mobile-based C++ projects.

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

It's the same as it is on the desktop. The first icon in the
application's resource section is used as the application icon.

Just create a resource script for your project, add an icon, and you're
done.

Yes, I got this around 3am when the battery on the device died. I plugged it
in, turned it back on, and THEN the icon showed up. Apparently it kept it
cached, even between me deleting / uninstalling and reinstalling
it...annoying, but such is life.
