How to assign an icon to a group

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I am developing a windows application in .Net that opens multiple modeless
dialogs. Each dialog has ShowInTaskBar property set to True. When the
application is
running Windows XP displays a Group on the taskbar. Each dialog does have an
icon, but the Group icon is empty.

How can I set an icon for the Group? I tried assigning the same icon to each
dialog, but it didn't help.

Thank you in advance.

Gregory,

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\YOURAPP.EXE
In the right-pane, create a new REG_EXPAND_SZ named "TaskbarGroupIcon"
Set the desired icon there
Example: %Programfiles%\Internet Explorer\IExplore.exe, 10

Thank you for the reply. What does number "10" mean in your example? (I
checked my registry, it's 13).

Gregory,

10 represents the Icon Index. More on the index can be found here:

Look here to see how explorer does it
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\explorer.exe
