Converting an .ICO file -> resolved

[RudyL]

This may be a bit off topic but maybe not..

I have this icon I use in my form. I want to convert into a file format that I can include into Word. I am using word to create the documentation and would like it on the cover page..

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

try icon.toBitMap

does that help?

You want to do it using VB? I would suppose that loading a picture box with the icon and exporting with Image.Save().

Otherwise, you can use any available image converter.

No, I just want to insert it into Word. What image converter would you suggest? I have never used one before..

If you want to just insert it into Word, you can open the icon file with VS. I think that PainShop Pro does image conversion in single or batch mode.

This is the simplest, free-est and just best little image converter I've ever met.
It does quite a lot of formats, though I'm not sure if it does .ICO.

Nope, no ICO supprt (Atleast no listed on their web site)..

NTG, I looked in VS a little, did not see I would conert the image and save it.. I will keep looking some more though..

VS doesn't convert the ICO files, but you can open them there then copy-paste to word.

Oh, I see what you mean now.
