Question: I want to use a custom icon for my Paradox application. How can I change the Paradox icon using ObjectPAL?"

Answer: The following code demonstrates this:

   var
      app  Application  ; pointer to Paradox application services
   endvar

   const
      FILENAME = "c:\\iconpath\\myicon.ico"  ; adjust as needed
   endConst

   app.setIcon( FILENAME )

While it's possible to do this using the Windows API, this approach is the simplest and most direct.

Remember to adjust the FILENAME constant to point to the fully-qualified filename of your .ICO file.
