See here... The little icon the red arrow is pointing at. How would I go about getting my program to have one of those?

I assume you're talking about writing a plugin which will let you change the icon of the Basic4GL window? There is a website here which will show you how to do it in a C program.

Why would you want to do that? O.o Well being able to add your own program icon makes your application look more professional. It also looks good too.

no.. basic4gl.. okay.. i have a login form in visual basic and i am trying to get it to get the passwords and usernames off of my website www.angrymonster.ucoz.com so i don't have to add them in manually. But when the user logs in and everything they go to the game lobby and choose a world and log into it.. i have all this done(cept for the password/username thing). and now i am trying to make it so when it loads it loads a basic4gl.exe file into a form.. but it's not going so well; any help?

Thanks for the link darkjester. I can make ico files in GIMP, but that makes really tiny ones, which is convenient.
Actually, I was talking about how to get it into an .exe.

If tom doesn't implement it into Basic4GL then the only other realistic way to achieve this feature is through use of a plugin.

yea lol, maybe someone should post a topic(icons) in the suggestion section, try to get toms atention, becuase if he implented into basic4gl it would be much more effecient than through a plugin
