I'm creating an ActiveX control. This control has a Picture property. In design mode, when I click the Picture property in the Properties Window, I see a button with an ellipsis on it (...).
When I click this button, I get the Open common dialog, which lets me choose a picture.
Is there a way to modify this button, so that you could only choose ICO files?
Or even better - is there a way to get the Picture property to accept any type of file, and then internally convert it to a 32x32 icon? The Picture property should display (Icon) in the Properties Window.

Sorry for replying to this because it probably means that no one eles will! ( I usually read the ones with no replies first)
Unless anyone else has a VB example, This might help:
I found a little Delphi program called 2icon which converts bitmaps to icons.
If you search for this the source code is also avaiable. It may be possible to base a VB program on that.
I hope this has been some help.

You can use an ImageList control, to which you can add the Image, then use the ExtractIcon Method to Generate an Icon of the Original Image.

... which reminds me ... I do not want my ActiveX control to require any other ActiveX control ...

I think that once Aaron Young has posted a reply you can assume the topic to be closed!! :)

Mark: If you read Aaron's answer and my reply to his answer, and find them contradicting (which they are), you will probably assume I would like to have a second opinion!
PietHein: Thanks, I will try looking for information on AsyncRead, whatever it is...
Anyone: I'm still open for suggestions!

Ok, I read about the AsyncRead function and I don't see how it can help me do this... How did you mean?
