Hi,

I would like to be able to specify or change the icon that appears on a titlebar after an OpenWindow( statement -- e.g. a program with an already open window opens a second window which should have a different titlebar icon. Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

Thank you!
It was the #WM_SETICON message that I needed.
The following works:

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,"Test Window", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
img=LoadImage(#PB_Any,"bm32.ico")
SendMessage_(WindowID(0),#WM_SETICON,0,ImageID(img))
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

I found that it has to be a icon file type. A bmp type does not show.
I also discovered that the 32x32 icon image can appear fairly "messed up" on the titlebar after it is loaded, I am assuming due to the resizing.

Good idea, because the titlebar only needs a 16x16 icon size so the OS needs to resize it 'somehow' if you don't provide it.
That's the point, your better off if you provide an icon which includes all seperat images which may be needed, e.g. 16x16 / 32x32 each 8bit/32bit and 256png image for Vista & Win7.
There's a small great tool with which you can quickly compose such icons from a single picture: ToYcon
