2. Trouble with retrieving "small" (16x16) icon, from "icon resource"
hi gang, I am attempting to retrieve a small icon from an app. The "icon resource" contains TWO icons, a standard 32x32 icon, and a smaller version which is 16x16. If I retrieve the icon using vb, and store it in a 16x16 image box, it renders perfectly, (although I confess I don't know whether vb is retrieving the 32x32 icon and just shrinking it, _OR_ picking out the 16x16 icon because it fits the size of the image box more exactly). However, if I retrieve the icon using the api, then the icon looks messy at 16x16 (but looks perfect at 32x32). Here is the code I am using: hInst = LoadLibrary(sDLL) hTitleIco = LoadImage(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(1), IMAGE_ICON, 16,16, LR_LOADTRANSPARENT) This DOES return a 16x16 icon, BUT it looks like the api did a sloppy job shrinking the 32x32 icon, rather than retrieving the (nicer-looking) 16x16 version. As I understand it, an "icon resource" can contain icons of various dimensions, (e.g., 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, 16x16). O.K. here's the question. If there is an icon resource containing two (or more) versions of an icon, how do I retrieve (with api calls) the one I want? tiafah, jw

4. Extracting Icons from exe or dll files in VB.NET
how can I extract an icon from a fil for example this sentence "F:\WINDOWS\System32\shell32.dll,3" how can I extract icon nr 3 from the shell32.dll?? I found some code for VB6 that might have worked in VB6, but it's been changed in VB.NET, it was some API-calls, and drawing on compononts using the hDC property, but the hDC property has been deleted in the PictureBox, and I haven't found it in other components neither. But it's got to be possible to do in VB.NET Please help, I can't seem to figure it out. regards Richard
