    Default Changing the Icon that is displayed in the Task Bar on Wundows

    Just need a pointer on where to go for this data.

    What is the correct way to change the task bar bitmap for a program running? The icon for miscrosoft windows that is is displayed in the task bar at the bottom of the screen when by App is running.

    Do I use the QSystemTrayIcon class?

    if you mean the task bar then it's:
    Qt Code:
    1. QWidget::setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/some.icon"));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    if you mean the icon tray (usually in bottom right corner) then it's:
    Qt Code:
    1. QSystemTrayIcon* icon = new QSystemTrayIcon(this);
    2. icon->setIcon(QIcon(":/some.icon"));
    3. icon->show();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    But I guess it's not the second option as you would have to use it to show the icon in the first place.
