View 3 RepliesAfter scouring the forums for a code to extract icon from exe and convert to bitmap, i got that working, and the image will display on my form just fine. I want to save the image so it can be loaded again after the program is closed, but I get "Generic error in GDI+ occurred" when I attempt to save the bitmap.
Dim ExeIcon As Icon
Dim button1icon As Bitmap
ExeIcon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Filename)
button1icon = ExeIcon.ToBitmap()
Button1.BackgroundImage = button1icon
button1icon.Save("C:utton1icon.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
I would like to convert an Bitmap image to an icon in VB.NET but I have to use the binary data of each to somehow accomplish that. Doing research on Bitmap I found how the files are structured. I know that bitmaps have the Bitmap Filer header, Bitmap infoheader, and the colorallet. Each of these contain a certain amount of bytes, and I a have to get these from the bitmap file. The icon header and info header are similar to the bitmap. I know that there are libraries in VB.NET that do that easily, butthis is for a project for school and I am not supposed to use that. I just want to ask how

For example, let us say that I get a background picture (let us say, of a waterfall) and I were to edit the picture and add the text "1+1=?" with photoshop in the lower left hand corner of the text.Would it be possible to create a program that could scan a particular area of the picture (the lower left hand corner) and "read" the text?For example, let's say that I created a program that did all this. It scans the lower left part of the picture and sees that there is a picture text 1+1=?.
View 1 RepliesI have a program that was created in VB6. I converted it to vb 2008. In the program there is a picture box that is pretty small. I had a command that would resize the picture box after importing an image. It no longer works.

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
My application icon looks ugly-like a paper and i would like to change it to something like globe icon or any suitable image.Am programming using visual studio 2005 and the program is written in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI'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?
View 14 RepliesGot 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.
View 1 RepliesHere'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'm attempting to remake the Explorer to customize it some more. I know how to get Name, FileSize ect. Getting the Icon is hard though.

The code i'm using to Insert the Icon into a image, i'm getting this error: Error1Value of type 'System. Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Image'
i'm getting this really strange error, or I must be overlooking something obvious. I'm using the following piece of code:Dim hwnd As Integer = GetWindow(GetDesktopWindow, GW_ CHILD) Dim myicon.As System.Drawing.Icon =Icon.FromHandle(hwnd)PictureBox1.Image =myicon.ToBitmap
View 1 RepliesDim outBitmap As Bitmap
Dim tmpIcon1 As Icon = (Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(f))
outBitmap = tmpIcon1.ToBitmap
outBitmap.Save(destName, iFormat)
picturebox1.BackgroundImage = outBitmap
I've reduced my massive test code to the above for this post.
In the above iFormat is the BMP image format.
The picture box displays the correct image but the saved image shows in Windows Explorer and Paint as all black.
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.
