I have a good batch of PNGs in my resources (with alpha transparencies) that I use on various controls in my program. However, I would like to be able to use some of those same images as form icons.
How can I convert the PNGs into a usable format so they can be assigned to the forms icon on the fly?
[code]...
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

View 2 RepliesI need to refer to some strings using an "indirect string" in the registry. It should be in this form:
@filename,resource
MSDN: "If the resource value is zero or greater, the number becomes the index of the string in the binary file. If the number is negative, it becomes a resource ID."How can I find out either of these numbers for my resources that only have names in VB? I also need the ID/index for the exe's icon.
I added an icon to my resource file I can see it has multiple pictures in it To assign a picture to a button I use this code(vb):
cmdFindAccount.Image = My.Resources.program.Find.ToBitmap()
How do I select a specific picture from the icons that are in the same file ?

Im in a win.form app. in .Net 2008 I have a lot of Icons that I want to display on a (TouchScreen enviroment) button The icons are in 8,16; 32 bit in the sizes 16X16 ; 32X32 ; 48X48
The buttons are large enough, they have a dimension of 252X132.The images are loaded via the Button propertie : Image. This has allso a size propertie, but is disabled. And I can see its loading the 32X32 32bpp format But I want the 48X48 size on there. Does some 1 knows how to get those sizes op the button.
I know its possible via a imagelist but why have a resource if you cant use it??
I am working on a Vb6 to VB.net migration application.I am not able to proceed in one place.I have a Resources.Resx file in my application in which some Icons are stored like "icoUS","icoCA" etc. And there is a combo box where some country names are listed.On selection of this combo box, the corresponding countrie's flag image should be dsiplayed on a picture box.[code]...

I have developed a form in Visual Basic and I need to export the form definition to another language that supports forms but does not have a form builder. From there I will change object names so that they match this other language.
I seem to remember in Visual Basic a number of years ago forms have a .rcs file that you can open with a text editor and view information about the form and all the controls on it. For example the form name and dimensions are listed. Also included is information about controls such as control name, width, height, and so on.
In my current version of Visual Studio I see a .resx file that has a header followed by a lot of binary information.
Is there any way to view the information as I've described it?
I'm creating a form, but this form will be fully generated by code in a non-design fashion at run time. So i'm using the designer to create the form, but I will be copying out all the fields and the initializecomponents into my internal form class that will be loaded and run at run-time. This means, that I cannot have a "MyForm.Resx" file to retain images for buttons and such. But, granted that this form will exist within the entirety of my ClassLibrary Project, I figured I would load these images into the My.Resources for the class library. (I"ve set them to embed them in the Resx file, which helps to import the ICO as a Bitmap).
now, here is the resource.designer.vb
Namespace My.Resources
'''<summary>
'''A strongly-typed resource class, for looking up localized strings, etc.

I have one program with many, many forms in it and the same program is used for two companies. Basically, when a user starts the program the data location is set depending on which of the two companies is being used. Therefore, I am trying to dynamically set the icon for each form based upon which company is being used. I didn't want to add code on every form to set the icon, which is mostly what I found when I was searching for a solution.
View 2 RepliesI have a simple windows Forms application where in I have a usercontrol called "MyControl" derived from PictureBox.
In this MyControl, I have the following code :
Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.MyImage 'This is a project resource image
End Sub
Now when I drag and drop this MyControl into a form, I get the image and also those stuff. But the problem is that the BackgroundImage is being copied into the Form's local .resx file.So when I look into the form.designer file, I find the following :
Me.MyControl1.BackgroundImage = CType(resources.GetObject("MyControl1.BackgroundImage"), System.Drawing.Image)
This is a problem and also when I try to change the image in the control, it does not get reflected in the form's control instance.
