LabVIEW subvi icon in executables

Hey LabVIEWers!

I was wondering if anyone has come across this before, and could share their experience.
When creating a LabVIEW executable for deployment, it is possible to use an icon for the LabVIEW deployed application (i.e. the icon in top left of the application).
Is it possible to have a different LabVIEW icon within the same executable, for instance for subvi front panels that pop up within the application. 
This would be useful when quickly scrolling through subvi panels within an application using Alt + Tab etc. 
Now, I don't think this is possible as I think this is more to do with the way a project compiles into an executable,and how windows handles this.. However I would love to be proved wrong.

Hey Ash!!

 

Sorry to be the barer of bad news, but I cant find much information on this. I have trawled through the internal NI resources and I have found little on the matter. The following forum is interesting though...

Unfortunately, it doesnt seem possible. Hopefully a wily member of the community will tell us otherwise.

I hope you are well buddy. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

 

All the best,
