One limitation of the "MS eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0" is the lack of icons assigned to the Applications and to their Forms. Also, no "User Defined Types" are available, which may limit the use of some System Functions Declares that need to pass structures as call parameters.

In these pages we present you with Free Source Code to overcome those limitations, and a commercial Application, the "VBCE Icons Tool", to solve the icons issue.

You can now start using Embedded Visual Basic to build commercial grade applications. Most of the code is left on Modules that you just need to include in your Project.

	How to fill in a Form with an Image
	How to access the CE Registry - includes regular VB functions clones
	How to assign an Icon to a Form
	How to assign an Icon to an Application
	How to leave an Icon in the CE System Tray and react to Click and Double-Click events

We also included some in-depth discussions on the topics covered by te code. Just have a look on the Articles section and... Enjoy.

The "VBCE Icons Tool" is a regular add-on application that runs on the developer system to perform two main functions:

	Build "Resource only DLL's" that include all the Icons required by an eVB application. These DLL's are customized to run on all the processors supported by Windows CE.
	Change the output of the "Application Install Wizard" - part of "MS eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0" - to include the Icon DLL that will assign an icon to the application on the Windows CE and Pocket PC device.

This application is self contained and does not require any additional product (besides the eVB runtime files).

All the changes are done with no user intervention so that no in-depth knowledge of the process is required.
