View 1 RepliesAdding Icons To A Desktop?
Feb 6, 2009Is there a way in VB .Net to add specific icons to a desktop like "Computer", "Network",Recycle bin", and "User" files? I want to be ablse to use it for XP and Vista, but Vista as a main priority. In vista you can Right Click the desktop select "Properties", click "Change Desktop Items" in the left hand corner, and then select the icons you want. I thought that maybe there is a way to do it by calling that, or maybe a way to do it in the registry.

I'm practicing using the setup and deployment project. I can add a shortcut to the desktop and give it an icon to display without problem. Many applications have a choice of icons to display for the desktop icon; when we right-click on the icon and choose "change icon" there is a box that appears giving the user a choice of different styles of icons to use for the programme. My question is: how can I give the user a choice of icons to be able to select which one to display? Do I have to make a dll file or is it another method?

View 1 RepliesListview Not Showing Icons When Launched From Desktop Icon
Oct 10, 2009I have created a project that uses a listview associated to an imagelist (LargeImagelist, I have set the size as 100 x 75 and 32 bit depth), that displays information from a database along with an image from the image list. My listview is set to tilemode so that I can control the size of the tiles to get two columns of six. The image list is populated when the form is loaded from all the images in a specific folder, this part is working appropriately as I can get a picturebox working consistently that references an image from the imagelist.

Icons On 64-bit Windows Can't Be Viewed In A 32-bit App?
Sep 13, 2011Apparently, there is some kind of "bug" or "feature" in 64-bit Windows that prohibits a 32-bit app from "seeing" certain icons. Testing this is simple:Create a basic Windows Form app on a 64-bit machine.In the Project Properties, go to Compile > Advanced Compile Options > Target CPU. Set Target CPU to "x86".Add a button to your app that triggers an OpenFileDialog. Run the app and click the button to open the OpenFileDialog.Browse to: C:UsersDefaultAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsMaintenance
You should see the "Backup and Restore" shortcut, but its icon will be a blank white sheet. (If you don't see it there, it might be in C:Users[MyUser]AppDataetcetcetcMaintenance).
Now, close your app... go back to Project Properties > Compile > Advanced Compile Options > Target CPU and set Target CPU back to "AnyCPU" (this will cause it to run as 64-bit).Run the app and browse to the same folder. Now "Backup and Restore"s icon will be visible.This happens on all 32-bit apps. I tried it in Firefox (using "Open File...") and it can't see that icon (and many others) either. as a result of this behavior, when I try to extract icons from files when running under 32-bit, it produces an error. If I run the same code under 64-bit, it works just fine. running my app as 64-bit isn't an option. I'd literally quit programming if I weren't able to use Edit-and-Continue, and for some brilliant reason, 64-bit apps can't Edit-and-Continue, so I make them all in 32-bit).

View 7 RepliesUse Standard Windows Icons?
Aug 20, 2009In VS.Net 2008, if you choose a new form with the Explorer template, the form is preloaded with a menu strip, and all the items have the familar save, print, open, etc, icons/bitmaps. I would like to use these icons in other forms, but the form does not appear to reveal the location of these icons or where they came from. Does anyone know where they are? If I find them and point to them, can I be assured that these icons are in the same place on any computer (or do I need to embed them in the exe)?
