View 2 RepliesI need to create high quality icons for my current project in vb.net
This is my code so far,
Private Sub CreateIcon(ByVal bitmapName As String)
Try
Dim fi As New System.IO.FileInfo(bitmapName)
[Code].....
But the problem is it only gives me a very low quality icon at the end. how to make a higher quality image?
I want to be able to create a custom shape that holds icons. Lets say for simplicity that it is a sqaure. I need the ability to load up to X amount of icons in the square. Lets say I need up to 6 icons. These icons will always be the same. However not all custom shapes will need them. I am assuming that I have to create a custom shape object class. I also want the icons to automatically adjust in size when I change the size of the shape. I am guessing that one way to do this would be to drop a TableLayoutPanel into the shape and then dock it to the shape. Then set the dock property of the icon to the cell that it resides into within the TableLayoutPanel in the shape. The number of rows/columns of the TableLayoutPanel would be predicated on the number of icons needed.
View 16 RepliesI've always had to use a program that does this stuff for me, but I'd like to just make my own program that does this. I've already got the individual bitmap images of the 3 sizes (16x16, 32x32 and 48x48) for the icon file and I usually find use some shareware program to create the icon file from the multiple bitmap images for me but I'm wondering if it's possible in .Net to create an icon file (*.ico) that contains multiple physical icons in it.

I want to use Shell32 as a reference but, not that it's place as Interop.Shell32.dll in my folder. So, I want my application to use "C:WindowsSystem32Shell32.dll"
I need it for an unzipper.
I have been trying to use Shell32.dll to zip files, I have also attempted to create empty zip folders dynamically and have had no success, I was able to create an empty zip folder but when I try to use the zip folder I receive an error message and the zip folder created remains empty. Error: QuoteWindows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder. [Code] If I use the empty zip without creating a new one this is the error message: QuoteFile not found or no read permission. The empty zip it creates is 100% valid with Windows Explorer.

View 2 Replies1) How can I list all the resources in a file like shell32.dll
2) How can I extract one of the resources listed
I need to unzip en zip some files in my application using Shell32. Right now, I use srcFolder.CopyHere(destFolder.Items()) to achieve this. However, my next line of code requires the newly made ZIP-file. But since the CopyHere method is Async, how can I check when it in finished? Right now I use a Thread.Sleep for around 500 ms which is enough for my computer to finish creating the ZIP file, but it's not good code imo.

or other method of extracting icon from shell32.dll.To personnel of Microsoft,I followed url...in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, Windows XP, but it shows 7 "Statement is not valid in a namespace" errors when "Press F5 to run the program", and does not let me extract the icons .also, I want to know how to "adjust the size of Picture1 so that a 32*32 icon fits inside the picture box" in url...
View 2 RepliesI want to unzip files from my program, so i'm using the Shell32 functionality like so:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim sc As New Shell32.Shell
Dim srcDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("zippath")
Dim destDir As Shell32.Folder = sc.NameSpace("destinationpath")
Dim items As Shell32.FolderItems = srcDir.Items()
destDir.CopyHere(items, 256)
End Sub
End Module
This theoretically works, but i'm unzipping an 8Gb compressed file and the dialog that pops up says it will be done in 1day, 19hours. This is ridiculous because when I just right click on the file and decompress it from there, it takes only a couple of minutes! I can't imagine what the problem is! I know that the shell process actually spawns its own thread, so I worried at first that my process was exiting before the thread could spawn and added a Thread.Sleep(1000) after destDir.CopyHere() but it had no effect.
I would like to make a image in the form representing the icon and a label below it to represent name but is there a easy way to do this.
View 2 RepliesI am calling the following function (to open a file in its default application) in some code running under Vista OS.

The function does nothing in Vista. However when running under Windows XP it works fine.
