Icon help..

[Andrew Herrmann]

I'm trying to load an Icon that's stored in a .RES file... For some reason, when I use this method, the Icon loses its color and becomes shades of grey. If I take the same Icon and load it by using the form properties window, it appears fine.

I've tried saving it as both a 256 color and a 16 color Icon with the same results. I'd love to just load it from the form properties, but I need to load it during program execution (it will change from time to time).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

What are you using to load the Resource?
This works fine for me on NT & Win95:

Icon = LoadResPicture(101, vbResIcon)

Yes.. That's how I'm doing it.

I just don't get it -- When I view the Icon with the VB Resource Editor, it looks fine. It's only when it's displayed on the screen that I get a "grey" icon.
