Remove Access Symbol from window

[scottfarcus]

I seem to remember hearing that there was some VBA or an API that I could use to remove or hide the Access symbol from the top-left of each window and replace it with my own icon.

Does anyone here know how to do this?

Scratch that. I went to Startup and changed the app icon. That seems to suffice.

How about the default form icon on pop-up forms? Is there a way to specify an icon for each form to replace the default?

I regret that I do not remember who to give credit to for this code.

'place this sub in each forms "Load" event
Private Sub Form_Load()
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "C:\Icons\Icon1.ico" 'Location of icon file
End Sub

'copy below code in a new public module
Private Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long

Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49
Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50

Private Declare Function LoadImage Lib "user32" Alias "LoadImageA" (ByVal hInst As Long, ByVal lpsz As String, ByVal un1 As Long, ByVal n1 As Long, ByVal n2 As Long, ByVal un2 As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, LParam As Any) As Long

Public Function SetFormIcon(hWnd As Long, strIconPath As String) As Boolean
Dim lIcon As Long
Dim lResult As Long
Dim X As Long, Y As Long

X = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSMICON)
Y = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSMICON)
lIcon = LoadImage(0, strIconPath, 1, X, Y, LR_LOADFROMFILE)
lResult = SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETICON, 0, ByVal lIcon)
End Function

'HTH

Fantastic!

Thank you! (and whomever originally posted the code)
