No Icon Shown in Make EXE File Dialog in VB.EXE in Windows 3.1

Summary:

When you run the Visual Basic VB.EXE environment under Windows version

3.1, the Make EXE File dialog box (chosen from the File menu)

incorrectly does not show an icon. The resulting .EXE program created

by Visual Basic correctly uses the icon from the Icon property of the

selected form, even though the VB.EXE environment does not show the

icon in the dialog box. This problem does not occur under Windows

version 3.0.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the VB.EXE environment

in Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are

researching this problem and will post new information here as it

becomes available.

More Information:

Selecting the icon from a form other than the main form or changing

the Icon property of the selected form has no effect on this problem.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Run Visual Basic, or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT,

F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by

default.

2. From the File menu, choose Make .EXE File.

Under Windows 3.0, the area labeled "Icon:" in the lower right corner

of the dialog box shows the default Visual Basic icon, a slanted

rectangle with a blue top edge. Under Windows 3.1, no icon appears.
