Default icon for window

[UJ]

Is there a way to change the default icon for a window to be the application
icon? It's just that if you create a new window you have to remember to go
in and set the icon where it would be nice if it defaulted to the
application icon.

TIA - Jeff.

Re: Default icon for window

One way to do this is to declare a base class (: Form) which defines this
sort of thing; you then inherit your forms from this one, and presto.

Note that the base form need not be done in the designer, but it shouldn't
be abstract, and must have a default ctor, otherwise designer support for
derived forms starts falling over.

Variants are available, sunch as basing the icon on the type (presumably
cached in a static dictionary of Icons that is only populated in you Main()
method).
