Put Every Small Icon In One .NET ImageList Control?
Dec 22, 2009
I'm developing a VB.NET WinForms application, and I'm using lots of small 16x16 32bit icons everywhere; most of which are nested behind tabs or otherwise invisible. I'm putting all of them in one big ImageList control, it seems easier to manage them from there.My question is, is this smart? I'm using the imagelist even in buttons, and controls that could otherwise have an image assigned more directly (e.g., through the Image property).
Note that I use ImageKey and have no (current) need for ImageIndex.Does it have a negative/positive effect on performance?

Got 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.

I've just changed the Icon for my application in the project->Properties->Application tab. However when running it's still the old (small) icon in the taskbar. How is this changed?

I 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.

I am using the Win32API function EnumWindows to populate a listview with the window text, handle. In this listview I would also like to populate the SmallImageList from an ImageList control of the window's small icon attribute.Now, I have the window handle for each, and I understand their is a number of ways to go about this. I have tried using SendMessage, sending the WM_GETICON value for ICON_SMALL...but that always returns zero.I've read something too about populating a WindowClass structure to get an icon for a particular window.

To simplify things, I have a new VB .NET 2008 Windows Form Application with absolutely no code yet. The only control I have on the form is a stock standard imagelist common control. Using the inbuilt editor for adding images, i've added one single 16x16 jpg image (just to simplify things). If I build and run the application at this point I get the following error.An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index was outside the bounds of the array. I don't expect to see any images at this point when I 'Run' the application. I just need to work out why I'm getting the error. Later on I'll be referencing the imagelist in another control.

I have created a VB.NET project that includes WebBrowser control. The web browser control navigates to html page that embedes a flash movie. Everything works fine except that when I want to exit the fullscreen mode of the video by pressing (Esc) key, it doesn't exit. If I view the html page with any other browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, ...) it works perfectly. You can download the project from the link below. The files are in the Debug folder.

how to add an icon to a user control - I'm talking about the icon that shows up in the toolbox. I have found some articles on the Microsoft site, but honestly they are so complicated and esoteric that I simply cannot follow them - it's like every synaps in my brain is misfiring when I try to read it!
I would love to see a very simple example of how this should be done.
I've tried embedding the image into the resources, setting the build action to Embedded Resource, creating a ResourceFinder class (as per MS advice) and then preceding the class with:
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(ResourceFinder), "ExposureMeter.Exposure.bmp")>
.. but so far I feel like I'm shouting into a cave without a single bat flying out...

I've been reading up on this and it seems I'm not understanding something to make this work.It seems that the ToolBoxBitmap() isn't picking up the image I specify (which is a 16x16 bmp and is part of the project) and I'm at a loss to why.

I have a little problem trying to port a C++ approach to use a notify icon control to a VB WPF project.
Code:
m_notifyIcon.Click += new EventHandler(m_notifyIcon_Click);
VS says that m_notifyIcon.Click is an event and can not be called directly and that I should use RaiseEvent.

I'm trying to setup sort of a LAN keep-alive proxy...Ex.: My Xbox 360 is connected strait to my computer via an ethernet cable. My computer is connected to the internet via a Wi-Fi adapter. Everything works fine and I can access the internet on the Xbox and computer.
Issue: Every time I start my Xbox I have to set up a "Home or Small Office Network" via the control panel to access the internet. What I would like to do is implement a proxy that when I shutdown the Xbox the LAN doesn't give the "Network Cable Unplugged" notification. I wasn't sure if there was a way to make the connection stay open for so long after it should say unplugged. Such as if I need to restart the system and don't want to have to re-setup the network on the computer.
This is my code to retrieve the network info:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation
Module Module1

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

I'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?

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.
