Determine Icon Size On Desktop?

Sep 6, 2010

I am running Windows 7 home premium (64bit) and writing programs using VB 2010 Express.

I have found a user can change icon display size using 'control panel' > 'appearance and personalization' >'Display' where they can select small, medium or large. The result, even though the icon heigth & width values are not changed, the apparent icon size on the desktop(and also text size in controls) is changed. Hence, if the user has chosen a larger icon size that I have on my machine, text in a button is larger and may not be completely visible.Knowing the user font size choice, I could adjust font size as required.[code]...

Icon/Link Placements On The Desktop?

Jul 16, 2011

Is there a way to know/dictate where an icon is to be placed on the Desktop.For example, if I was to be in My Documents and I see a file of which I desire to have a Shortcut of Send(ed) to the Desktop (by using the right-click command "Send to Desktop"),how can I "peek" the Windows processing and determine, then intercept, the location it's determined to place this icon at.I desire to be able to dictate more than the location, but believe that upon acquiring this information I can obtain everything else I need.

Deployment :: Application Icon Not Displaying On Desktop

Nov 24, 2011

I've created my first Visual Studio (2010) app. It's a simple, single form, single exe app. I set the application icon in Project Properties and built the app. When I view the exe file in Windows Explorer the small icon displays but when I copy the exe file to my Windows 7 desktop I get the default exe icon instead of the icon I've specified. If I copy the ico file to the desktop the picture displays and when I create a shortcut to the exe file and specify my ico as the icon it also displays.

Drag And Drop On A Desktop Shortcut Icon?

Jun 1, 2011

I found this thread[url]...

and I have encountered the exact same problem, that the desktop shortcut icon created by the Setup program does not work when dragging and dropping a file (in this case an Access-database) onto it,

while a shortcut manually created works just fine.

I do not understand the answer in the above thread. But, anyway I would like to find a way to solve the problem directly, preferably through the Setup program itself.

Generic Desktop Icon Shuffling Program

Aug 4, 2009

I found some VB6 code over here to get and set icons on the desktop.After converting it to VB.NET and making some minor modifications it should simply save the icon's locations at startup into an array of POINT structures, set all icons to random locations when a button is pressed and put the icons back when the applications exits. When I start the app all icons dissapear and nothing happens when the button is pressed or when I exit (I can get the icons back by aligning them by grid).The VB6 to VB.NET converter gives me a warning when i try to marshal the POINT structure saying that i need special conversion for marshaling non bittable types.

Here's the code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasicImports Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6Imports SystemImports System.Runtime.InteropServicesImports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Project1.Declarations
Friend Partial Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Listview Not Showing Icons When Launched From Desktop Icon

Oct 10, 2009

I 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.

C# - Extract The 256x256 Icon From An Icon And Display It In .Net, Winforms, XP?

Mar 18, 2010

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.
