Dear experts,
I am trying to change the AutoCAD icon displayed on the Windows task bar. I tried two approaches:
first approach:
- retrieve the AutoCAD HWND handle
- use the Window SendMessage function to change the running application Icon.
second approach:
- create programmatically a symbolic link file to which I associate a given icon
- start a process which runs this symbolic link file.
While the two above approaches seem to do the job, I am wondering whether there is some AutoCAD native approach, I could implement here?
I checked the AutoCAD parameters, but it did not really help.
In advance, thanks for your valuable help.

Hi,
ok, then I will use the HWND based approch.
thanks for your help.
