Checking Icon Properties

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Hey

You know how Vb has the crappy icon thing where it wont allow XP icons etc. Well i am allowing my user to change the icon, how do i check to see if its compatible with VB6.

The easy way would be to ask user if they like what they see ... and if they don't, well, change it back.

I noticed this before. I think color depth was the problem. I think the max limit is 256 colors. It was some time ago, I cant remember exactly.

You can use vbAccelerator's sample to set a proper XP icon:

What do you mean you have no control over this?

Aren't you talking about your program?

Right, i am making a application, which will (using a txt file to store the location) load an icon into another pre built exe, but of course if that icon is invalid it wont work
