Saving *.ico Files

Does Anyone Know How To save a Bitmap as a Icon (*.ICO) File?

Thanks,

Here's a small trick you can use

• Make a Form with 2 PictureBox's
• Load a BMP file in Picture1
• Load Picture1 into an ImageList
• Use the ExtractIcon method to set the MouseIcon of a hidden Control to our BMP (Which is now in the ImageList)
• Load the hidden Control's cursor into Picture2
• Use the SavePicture method and save it as an Icon.

This is a little sneaky way of doing it but it works well.

you know what would be nicer, if you just made that program and posted a link

No, Meg did just add those bullets and everything, i think he have pictured and explained everything very well

Thanks, Kedaman.

As for you, CtrlAltDel, What part of that don't you get?

o, i get it, dont worry...just thinkin of an app for you to make, a quick little .ico maker

Well, actually I have made it. I have stumbled apon this last year sometime and created it then.

Where do I get the ImageList object?

It's in that huge comctl32 ocx, you can add it by pressing Ctrl+T and select Microsoft Common Control 5.0 or 6.0

The icon is usually under the Progress Bar and it look like 3 white boxes stacked on top of each other.
