SUMMARY:
In Version 9, customers have noticed that when using Alt+Tab within Windows to switch from one running application to another, their application icon is not shown. Instead, the normal Progress icon is shown.
EXPLANATION:
Unfortunately, in V9 only one icon can be displayed in the Alt+Tab
dialog for *ALL* Progress windows. You can change this icon by
executing the following command:
SESSION:LOAD-ICON("some.ico").
This limitation is due to a behavior in Windows that, at this writing (May 1999) is believed to be a Microsoft bug.
Visual Basic and Delphi applications also encounter this problem. The reason for it is that there is now an invisible window which is the parent of all Progress windows. It is the invisible windows icon which you see for all Progress windows in the Alt+Tab dialog. This new architecture was necessary to add some new features in version 9.0A, including SHOW-IN-TASKBAR and TOP-ONLY.
