Can I use another exe's icon as the icon for the task. I really need this. I tried just using the path to the exe and then added ;1 to the end to see if it needed to select the 1st icon. Can you (codescript) or someone help?
Thanks

LiquidCode, I just added that option in a update just now.
But one thing to note is the limited 4 bit resloution support on older windows versions for the taskicon due to which a 24 bit icon may not look as intended.

I have added the Filedlg customization in the new version. Couldn't upload at the main site. My IE keeps saying it has encountered an eror and needs to close. So I am uploading the new version dll only here.
| Code: | REM VDSGUI can set background and Text color to
REM your VDS Info and Message and other Dialog boxes.
REM You can even use a bitmap as back-ground.
REM In the current example we show
REM how to customize a filedlg
REM including the button text to one of your choice.
DIRECTORY CHANGE,@PATH(%0)
REM Load the VDSGUI DLL
EXTERNAL VDSGUI,DEMO
REM In VDS 5 you need to define the command and
REM function name of the External DLL.
IF @GREATER(@SUBSTR(@SYSINFO(DSVER),1,1),4)
#DEFINE COMMAND,GUI
#DEFINE FUNCTION,GUI
END
REM VDS Dialog Designer created Dialog:
DIALOG CREATE,Coloured MessageBox with Timeout,-1,0,488,232,NOMIN,COLOR $00DBB7B7
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,83,167,154,66,Launch the Demo,,DEFAULT
DIALOG SHOW
:EVLOOP
WAIT EVENT
GOTO @EVENT()
:BUTTON1BUTTON
DIALOG DISABLE,BUTTON1
REM Customize the filedlg about to popup!
REM Note the Zip & Abort instead of the usual Open & Cancel.
REM Keyboard Accelerators are supported. Just Place a "&" before
REM the letter to be used as hotkey.
GUI DLGBOXCOLOR,$00004080,$00DBB7B7,SOLID,0,2,Customized Msgbox,&Zip|&Abort
%A = @filedlg("Text file (*.txt)|*.txt|Document file (*.doc)|*.doc",Zip a file)
DIALOG ENABLE,BUTTON1
GOTO EVLOOP
:CLOSE
