I run a software development firm that develops application for Windows Vista or higher. Windows Vista has a new feature called large icons, that allows display of up to 256X256 icons.
However, if I make an image that contains this icon file, the image just assumes that it should use the 32X32 one in the ICO file, even if I scale the image up to like 500X500 (in that case, it just scales the 32X32 one up).
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.
Ive found plenty of examples of extracting an icon from a dll, but then those examples display the icon as an image, which is not what Im trying to do. Im trying to extract those icons dynamically into my program to set the application icon, and other icons for items on the menu bar. I have this little bit of code, but I keep getting various errors when I use it.

View 1 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)
According to MSDN, the Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon method cannot accept a UNC pathname, which I think is totally absurd. Does anyone know of a work-around to extract the icon of a file on a network?

View 1 RepliesI have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.

It's for a puzzle style game I'm thinking about developing.
I need to extract 8 bit grayscale image.
My plan is this:
1. input the picture to a picture box no 1
2. load into memory
3. extract all value to a 2D array matriks
4. process the picture
5. Show the result in picture box no 2
6. End
I met a serious problem when i want to load it to memory. For a faster process i use Graphics class (i've got this trick from my friend). but later I found out that graphics wont work for PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed.
Here's the code:
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal
Public Class LockImage

I'm currently trying to extract an image from a pdf file using iTextSharp.
The pdf is made from a scanner: it has a single page that contains one big image.
When looking at the file I find the following:
<< /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Obj3 /Width 2480 /Height 3507 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /BlackIs1 true /BitsPerComponent 1 /Length 5 0 R /Filter /CCITTFaxDecode /DecodeParms << /K -1 /Columns 2480 >> >> stream
[Code].....
But, that doesn't work as I get one big black tiff file with different shades of gray on top.
Does anyone know a way how I can decode those CCITTFaxDecode images?
I would like to know if anyone could possibly write something to open a file containing hex data select data from offset: E000 to the end of the file then save it as a JPEG image.

View 2 RepliesI need to create an application that converts an image to an icon. This is for a school project, and I know there are libraries in VB that do image conversion, however I have to make the conversion process myself. My first task is to convert an JPEG into an icon.

What I need, are some suggestions for the conversion, since I can't use what VB has. what do I need to start with ?
