[2008] Get HiRes Icon Off Of File
Feb 5, 2009
I'm trying to use SHFILEINFO to get the high res icon off of a file. I've been able to get the stnadard (32X32 16 color) icons, but I can't seem to grab the high res version.
I'm using the sample code from: [URL]
I have uncommented the section for the high res icon and removed the code for the small icon. I'm still only getting the standard icon. I have also tried 'ExtractAssociatedIcon' as recomended by other threads here, but this also only gives me the standard icon.

How do I make my application open a file that is dragged over the applications icon? I am planning on being able to drag an XML file and the application goes into an import mode to create a new record in the DB. I think I may need to have an identifier in the header of the file such as ClientImg or the likes so that the App looks for that to let it know it is the proper file type. Note to JMC: I would look this up, but I do not know what it is called

I have been looking everywhere to find a way to extract the main icon from for example c:/test/file.exe and put the icon in for example c:/test/fileicon.ico i did find something but the icon looked dreadful, it must of been like 16 colours.
anyway if someone has managed to do this or knows how to do it please help before i go insane.
also i will settle for knowing how to do it with reshacker.exe instead which i also cant get to work.

I'm not sure exactly if the folder icon is in shell32.dll, but nonetheless if it is.Basically, whenever I come across a folder in a FileSystem list, I want to add the icon for a folder to the image list that I am using for the ListView. The problem is that I'm not sure how to reference a specific icon location in a icon collection in a dll.Is this possible with Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon and shell32.dll?

I am working on a vb6 to vb.net migration project using VS 3.5. In my application, there is .resx file and some icons are there in this file (eg: icoIN,icoUS etc). On click of a checked listbox (which is filled with country names), the particular country flag should be displayed on a picture box control. The image of country flag is taken from the .resx file.I tried with the following code.

I'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?

I am writing an application that will cache all my files and then let me display files that I would like to display. I am wanting to extract the icons from each file as I cache them.My question is this: How can I detect if the icon from one file is the same as another icon and therefore prevent me from extracting it twice?

I currently have the following code but I would like to get away from going to a physical location. If I have the icon as a resource, how can I programatically add the icon? I don't want to use the form's designer to do this.
Sub Form1_Load()
Dim ico As New System.Drawing.Icon("C:Resourcesicon.ico")
Me.Icon = ico
End Sub

Got an annoying issue it's Visual Basic 2010 I changed icon where the assembly name.I got a good icon it has lots of sizes, or I tried diff sizes like 64x64 128x128 nothing seems to work I only see the icon when i do View > Details so it's small icons in the folder, but if i have view large icons It doesn't work. I even used the same icon on VS 2008 and it worked.

Here's the code that I use to extract the icon size that I want:
Dim i As Icon = My.Resources.Spectrum
Using i2 As New Icon(i, New Size(256, 256))
Me.PictureBox1.Image = i2.ToBitmap
End Using
This works from 16x16 up to 128x128 but for 256x256 it extracts the 128x128 icon. I tried 0x0, because I seem to remember that that is how the large size is stored in the meta data, but that didn't work either.

I want to save the fav icon in the each page i have navigated to. because i have a bookmark field where each bookmark is a .url file. and i want the icon to be the fav icon of the page it has saved. ( if i got one saying "Dreamincode" with "www.dreamincode.com" inside it then i want to save the icon of www.dreamincode.com )the name sould be the url. So i can use "if file.exist" becuase otherwise it will add a new icon for each image of items the site contains.
