I'm using VB 2008. How can I use an icon from shell32.dll as the icon for my app, without extracting it first? When i select the file shell32.dll on my properties page, it says that the file is not a valid icon file.

or other method of extracting icon from shell32.dll.To personnel of Microsoft,I followed url...in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition, Windows XP, but it shows 7 "Statement is not valid in a namespace" errors when "Press F5 to run the program", and does not let me extract the icons .also, I want to know how to "adjust the size of Picture1 so that a 32*32 icon fits inside the picture box" in url...
View 2 RepliesI 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
My application icon looks ugly-like a paper and i would like to change it to something like globe icon or any suitable image.Am programming using visual studio 2005 and the program is written in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI'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?
View 14 RepliesGot 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.
View 1 RepliesHere'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.
I'm attempting to remake the Explorer to customize it some more. I know how to get Name, FileSize ect. Getting the Icon is hard though.

The code i'm using to Insert the Icon into a image, i'm getting this error: Error1Value of type 'System. Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Image'
i'm getting this really strange error, or I must be overlooking something obvious. I'm using the following piece of code:Dim hwnd As Integer = GetWindow(GetDesktopWindow, GW_ CHILD) Dim myicon.As System.Drawing.Icon =Icon.FromHandle(hwnd)PictureBox1.Image =myicon.ToBitmap
View 1 RepliesWhy is it that the icon of my form appears only when I am running it in my IDE. When I publish my program and running it in Windows, the icon does not appear at the taskbar, what appears is a default icon instead.

It works perfectly for files on the local system. But i need it to also grab icons from exe files in network locations(\\example-pc\example). Vb net just throws an error when trying....The error:QuoteValue of "\\examaple-pc\example-folder\example-file.exe" is not valid for 'filepath'.
Im trying to make the an icon for the form work with my own icon, because all programs have their own(like ie hat the e and paint.net has their logo), but whenever I put in my icon phote(and it is saved as .Ico) it comes up with the error: Argument 'picture' must be a picture that can be used as an icon. I have the same measurments as the defult one(32 by 32) so what am i doing wrong?

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 writing an application that will cache all my files and then let me display files that I would like to display. I am wanting to extract the icons from each file as I cache them.My question is this: How can I detect if the icon from one file is the same as another icon and therefore prevent me from extracting it twice?
View 8 RepliesIve 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.

I have this little bit of code, but I keep getting various errors when I use it.
View 12 RepliesI am getting ready to release a .NET 2003 application, and this application has a file type associated with it.During the installation I register the extension to be associated with my application, and everything is working fine.My question has to do with the icons. I want a specific icon for the exe, and also a specific icon for the files associated with my app.i want to have both icons in the exe file.I guess my question would be, how do i embed 2 different icons into an exe, so that if you selected that exe as an icon source, windows would see the different icons in it (as seperate icons)I know I can embed them as a resource, but windows only sees the main icon.To give you an example, of what I am trying to do, winamp, the mp3 player program, has several icons in its exe (see picture)(the visual studio IDE exe - devenv.exe - also has more than 1 icon in it)

I want to use the ExtractAssociatedIcon method to get the icon of a bitmap.
But in MSDN I found the following statement:

Is it possible to turn off the thumbnail and get the icon back?
