Hi!

I've now spent about 3 hours just to find out how to change the title the  
shell displays in the taskbar when it groups windows of the same  
application. FYI:

http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/04/08/109775.aspx

The important part is this: "The name for grouped taskbar buttons comes  
 from the version resource of the underlying program. You can view this  
directly by viewing the properties of the executable program and looking  
on the Version tab."

Now, assuming that this is a Visual Studio property (just to double-check  
I changed every possible property of my exe via the context menu with no  
effect) ... how can I tell DMD to create such a version resource?

Thanks.

-Mike (obsessed with stupid little details like that)

You'll have to link it into your application in order to get a Version tab
in app properties and whatever comes with it.

resource files before, so it's kinda hard to figure out what to do, but I  
think I get the idea. Thanks.

<rant>After googling a bit for it I have to say that those resource files  
rank high among the ugliest things I've ever seen - like a bastard child  
of QuickBasic and the C preprocessor. Hmm. My new sworn enemy, the Windows  
API, makes me want to wash my hands every 15 minutes anyway, so those rc  
files fit into the overall theme quite nicely.</rant>
