I am a beginner in Visual Basic. This is the problems that I have. After I wrote a program in Visual Basic, I have also compile and publish the program into the final output that is final product with the extension .EXE .
However, how can we change the icon of the program to something more interesting instead of using the normal Form icon provided by Visual Basic 6.0?
Any help will greatly be appreciated.
The most helpful advise I can give you is this: Stop using it!
NOW!. There are a couple of
major problems here. As a serious programming language, BASIC
SUX. Sure, it's real easy to learn, learn in a few weeks; spend years unlearning all the really bad habits it taught you. You'd do much better to learn C++. If you insist on developing for Winderz, then learn C#. His Gatesness intends to phase out Visual BASIC (even though he denies it -- don't believe unsubstantiated rumours till they're officially denied
).
You might want to give
FOX a try. This is a cross-platform programming aid that you can use to write apps that'll run on *NIX, and Winderz. Also, unlike Visual BASIC, it's free (as in beer), it's GPL'd (free as in freedom), and
all the source code is provided. So you will be able to see exactly how your apps work. This is one thing you can never do with Visual BASIC as it's proprietary. You never get to see anything more than bits and pieces of your apps. In conclusion, it's a dumbed-down development environment that will dumb
you down as well.
Best of all, ditch Winderz completely, learn to program for *NIX and learn how to become a real programmer.
That way, you'll learn what programming is all about, as 90% of it isn't hidden away from you. That's why so many Winderz programs are so bad: dumbed-down development environments inevitably lead to dumbed-down developers. It's a fate to be avoided.
