Jasper:
The problem maybe because your icon only contains a 32x32
icon. A real windows icon should contain a 16x16, 32x32
and 48x48. This icon can also contain these 3 icons in
in different pallete sizes. When windows displays an icon
it selects the appropriate icon to display or tries to
adjust the icon to fit the use. What maybe happening is that
the bindw is only replacing the 32x32 icon and when windows
selects the icon it uses one of the sizes that was not
replaced ( the euphoria icon ). The way you can find out
is to select an icon from some other windows program that
you know works and try bindw-ing it to your program.
Out on the web and you will find icon editors that will
allow you to create icons that contain more than one size
if this is your program.

2. RE: Alt+Tab icon in windows
Jasper,
Using Win32Lib and my own icon when binding, I put the following in my
'onOpen' routine.
atom hicon, exw
exw = allocate_string("exw")
hicon = w32Func( xLoadIcon, {instance(), exw} )
free(exw)
if sendMessage( CardWin, WM_SETICON, 1, hicon ) then end if
This puts my bound icon in my window, and shows it when I ALT-TAB.

3. RE: Alt+Tab icon in windows
I don't know if you are using Win32Lib or not but I just sent Derek a
fix that would handle bound icons automatically in the library (and also
a 'setIcon()' bugfix). Maybe the code will make it into the next
release...

snip -- a 'setIcon()' bugfix) -- snip Brian
Everybody thanks for the advice. I haven't had time yet to test the
proposed solutions, I hope this evening. I indeed use Win32Lib so the
fix will come in handy. But what's the 'setIcon()' bug Brian refered to?
Bye,
Jasper.
5. RE: Alt+Tab icon in windows
I think Derek is on vacation at the moment so I haven't received any
feedback from him about it. Procedure setIcon takes 2 arguments.
According to the docs for the 2nd parameter:
If icon is a sequence, it will be assumed to be the name of an icon
file, and Win32Lib will attempt to load the icon.
Otherwise, icon is assumed to be the handle of an icon.
However, if the icon is not a sequence, the library attempts to use
'xLoadIcon' to get a handle:
handle = w32Func(xLoadIcon, {NULL, icon})
However, if 'icon' is already a handle, then the code should simply be:
handle = icon
