Icons in a DLL

[onerrorgoto]

I'm using Axialis cursors 4.5 to create my own icons and now I'm wondering if I save my icons into a DLL, How can I get hold of them in VB?
Like to put an image from the Dll on a toolbarbutton.

You can create an Icon Library and add then to the library using your program. I don't know if it offers that feature, but Microangello does.

Another way is to create an ActiveX DLL file and add the icons to a RES file. Then compile the Dll.

Thank you Megatron.

But if I make my ActiveX DLL with icons in a res-file, how do I put one icon from the resfile in the DLL on my toolbarbutton or commandbutton?

Do I use the LoadResPicture() function? if so, how?

I mean, can I use the index from the resfile in the DLL to define which picture I mean?
If I already have a res-file in my project, how do I define that I mean the Dll res-file?

I know that I have many weird Q's but I hope someone will take the time to answer me.

Again, thank you megatron

Hello!

You can create resource-only dll, but you nead Visual C 4.x and load icons from that DLL. If you want to do it that way, I can help you. I've developed class for loading resources (for now just strings, icons and bitmaps) from resource-only dll. Contact me if you want it.
