Custom Component Icon And Description?
Sep 4, 2011
I have made a custom component (button based) and was wondering how to add a custom icon to it as well as a custom description I've seen 3rd party components that got special icons as well as a custom description
And actually got a second question How to add description to functions I create myself? You know... in code when you start typing and a function shows up, if you let the mouse over it,

I am wondering if I can extend a component (e.g a button ) in vb the same way I can in java which enables you to modify the component for your specific requirement or create a new one from scratch.

Im currently developing a custom logging component, that we will deploy with all our applications, windows services, webapps, windows apps etc. I have a few questions of various nature. The component is a single signed dll file:
1) Which is the "safest" way to get the current directory? For example, in the config file, in the config section I have a property "logpath". The application will read this and write a log file depending in what they write:
c:myapplog (it will write a log here, create whatever folders it need) /Log (directly under the installed app directory, like c:program filesmyappLog) Log (same as above) I need something that work with both windows and web apps, for webapps it will log under the virtual directory of the aspnet app.
2) For exception handling, if nothing special is happening, like in the DAL, I get a sql server exception, is there any point in using

Not a single site anywhere, and I have even tried the MSDN, that details in any specific language how to draw a custom icon into a tooltip.
I have tried using every format of image I can produce, including (but not limited to) ICO, PNG, GIF, BMP, JPG etc... But every time, the app debugger clouts me round the head in defiance.. Windows Vista CAN do it.. and as in the image above.. StarDock figured it out..
I know your policy is to have the askee produce their code first, but the thing for me is
Also, I wonder if it would not be possible to take the code that does do the whole shabang, and compile it into a DLL or something that I can just embed for future projects - again this can be uploaded for others to refer to.

I cannot seem to figure out how to use a large icon (I'm assuming 64x64) in balloon tooltips, like when installing new hardware device drivers. I already have the icon resource added, and when I have it coded:
Me.afkNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = AFK_Timer.My.Resources.clock_balloonicon
I get the error: "Value of type 'System.Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolTipIcon'."

I know how to add a resource to my project and I also know how to add an icon to my application. What I could not figure out is how to embed another icon for custom file types - I do know what registry entries to add / modify though, I am just not able to add a 2nd icon as resource to my profile and make it 'accessible', so, that the Windows System can display it for files with my custom extension.

When I choose WindowState.Maximized from the properties toolbox, the form will open as maximized, but the icon that I chose does not appear... the VS default icon is shown. That is, until I minimize and re-maximize the form. Then, my custom icon is shown.
I want the form to open maximized. Is it possible to have the custom icon shown by opening the form this way?

I created an image (.png) with a transparent background and I'm trying to show it in a ListView. So I added the image to the ImageList belonging to the ListView, however when drawn, there is a partial white circle around the image. I checked and rechecked the actual image and there are absolutely NO white pixels at those positions.

I'm setting my application up for use with ClickOnce. I've got my own icon that I made myself that is associated with the application for the desktop or programs list but a default icon shows in the add remove programs list. If I'm using ClickOnce is there a way I can change the add remove programs icon to the one I want?
Alll the information about changing the add remove programs icon that I've found talks about dealing with the properties of your setup project. With ClickOnce you don't have a Set Up project like you do if you're using Windows Installer so I'm not sure how you change the add remove programs icon.

So I've created a custom ListView by inheriting it and overriding the OnDrawSubItem(). I can now draw icons in several of the columns. It's pretty nice! My question is, is there anyway to do this for the ListViewGroup? I'd like to place an icon just before the group text.

I am converting an old Vb6 solution to .net 2.0 in vs2010. I've been working in C# for about 3 years now and .net for 5. I don't recall having this problem in C#, but if I want initialize a readonly collection of DerivedControlFoo Is there a clean way to do it besides creating a sub to do it all off somewhere else? I'd love to be able to do it at the class level at the declaration for readability and simplicity.

I've created a component whose name I'd like to be able to change while editing in the component tray. I've added a Designer action for a name property, but now I'm stuck.
Looking at the property grid, I can see that the name property is parenthesised, indicating that it's not a regular property.

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

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?

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.

Why is it that the icon of my form appears only when I am running it in my IDE. When I publish my program and running it in Windows, the icon does not appear at the taskbar, what appears is a default icon instead.
