May be it is not really realted to Toolkit Pro, but I'll ask anyway. I cant find a way to set the icons for Tiles view and Thumbnails view when the app is displayed in Windows Explorer. Currently I use SetIcon and its second parameter is TRUE for 32x32 icon and FALSE for 16x16 icon, and it works ok. However whever I switch to Tile or Thumbnails view in Windows Eplorer nothing/blank is displayed for my app... Is there special API for that (my app is an MFC app in VS2005 SP1).

Hi,

Explorer shows first icon from your resources.

not sure that I understand what is the 1st icon... with lowest numeric value or the 1st that appears in resource view under Icons? I have 4 of them, including IDR_MAINFRAME. In any case Explorer displays nothing - blank - white space, both in Tiles and Thumbnails view modes... and stndard window icon in Alt-Tab box...

Hi,

seems with smaller Id. Check with some resource editor what icons you have and what Id they have.
