Extract Icon of a form

[fiona_conard]

Hi all,

I got a vb exe which has three forms. Each form has its own icon. How can i retrieve the icon of each form from another vb project?


Thanks

Play around with this example

'In general section
Private Declare Function DrawIcon Lib "user32" Alias "DrawIcon" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal hIcon As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ExtractIcon Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ExtractIconA" (ByVal hInst As Long, ByVal lpszExeFileName As String, ByVal nIconIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long
 
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
    'E-Mail: [email][email protected][/email]
 
    Dim Path as String, strSave as string
    'Create a buffer string
    strSave = String(200, Chr$(0))
    'Get the windows directory and append '\REGEdit.exe' to it
    Path = Left$(strSave, GetWindowsDirectory(strSave, Len(strSave))) + "\REGEdit.exe"
    'No pictures
    Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture()
    'Set graphicmode to 'persistent
    Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
    'Extract the icon from REGEdit
    return1& = ExtractIcon(Me.hWnd, Path, 2)
    'Draw the icon on the form
    return2& = DrawIcon(Picture1.hdc, 0, 0, return1&)
End Sub
