After 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 am using a number of localised form resource files in order to store translation strings. In addition to the standard component captions and text values, I am storing localised messagebox strings for things like autosave notifications.However, when opening the form again, the additional messagebox strings have been removed from all the form resource files.Is it not possible to store additional strings in these files? Or is there a workaround?
