When a program is running, it produces a sort of multiply highlighted icon on the taskbar - with one overlay per open document. However two similar programs can get overlaid on the same icon: in particular two different versions of the same program
running simultaneously.
I've just run version 6,8,9,11,12 of my program simultaneously, and versions 11,12 share the taskbar icon, but the others are all different.
Does anyone know what attribute of a program has to be different to cause it to have its own icon? It evidently isn't the executable file name as versions 6,8,9 share one name and 11,12 share another.
The two strings in the wizard-generated MFC project which might affect it are IDR_MAINFRAME (the main window caption) andAFX_IDS_APP_TITLE (which I think governs where the program's data goes in the AppData folder) but these don't seem to affect it either.
Another variable is that v11 and v12 are compiled with VS2010, and the others with earlier versions of VS, but surely that can't be important?
I'd like every version to have its own icon (each with overlays for multiple documents).
Any help resolving this would be very welcome.
