icons

[elbobo]

I have an app with multiple forms. I know how to add icons using code in the form, as well as using the property page. Trying to think more object oriented, I want to put an icon reference in a module (or public variable) and 'grab' the icon for all the forms in this manner. I've been dinking around a bit and can't get it to work right. Any help out there?

This is what I've been trying:

Public myIcon As Picture
myIcon = LoadPicture("c:\myapp\litening.ico")

or

Public Function myIcon() As Image
myIcon = LoadPicture("c:\myapp\litening.ico")
End Function

When I try to call these values I get all kinds of different errors! thanks!

Why not store your Icon(s) in a Resource file then you can load them using the following syntax, (the Resource file gets compiled into the EXE):

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Icon = LoadResPicture("CD_ICON", vbResIcon)
End Sub
