Listview Icons

Hi all

Why is it that when i use an icon straight from an imagelist into a listview the icon is clear to see, as it was meant to be, but when i extract an icon from a file(exe) to a picturebox and the copy it to the imagelist, and then to the listview it looks distorted.

Does anyone know how to fix this, or have any code that will extract an icon from a file straight to an image list.

Thanks

Mark

I have the same problem and to add to it I also noticed when loading an icon from an image list I lose the transparency the secound time it's loaded . The first time it's fine . Any ideas ?

The transparency problem could be because when you copy the picture(icon), the background colour is also copied, try setting it to the same background colour as the listview.
