    Resolved [RESOLVED] Icons

    How do I add system icons to my application. I have a print and a mail button for example. I know how to set an image to the button. But I don't know where to find system icons and add them to my application.

    You can also use the ExtractIconEx API also.

    Re: Icons

    If you have VS2005, Microsoft provides a vast collection of their system icons for you to freely use in your programs. They can be found in a zip file under <InstallDir>\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Re: [RESOLVED] Icons

    These two links show how to extract system icons dynamically so you dont need to distribute any icons.
