Creating Icons
Hi all.
I'm trying to program my own icon editor in VB. My problem is saving the icon in the right format. If I just use SAVEPICTURE it's saved in BMP format. Further more it's missing the transparent color.
I have tried adding the image to an imagelist and then use extracticon, and the save it. This works fine, but my problem is, that i would like to be able to use lots of color, and the imagelist changes some of my colors.
So my question is : Does anyone know how to save a standard picture in ICO format with transparent background and everything.
I have also been playing around a little with CREATEICONINDIRECT and CREATECOMPATIBLEBITMAP but I can't get that to work.

try looking at http://www.wotsit.org for file format information.. it's probably easy enough for icon files to just write a save routine yourself.
