A Very Stupid Question - How to make Icon

[cantene]

Dear Friends,

I am afriad you can't endure my stupid question but I really hope to ask for your suggestion. I have some bitmaps or jpeg images but I hope to display them as the icons (at left top corner) of the forms of my app.

How to convert them to icon files?

Also do u know some icon resources on the Web for developers to use because I found the graphics in the common folder come along with my VB 6 Professional are really not enough?

Thank you very much.

Im an icon editor duh j/k

Try microangelo...... good program me thinks, then you can just copy and paste a section in.

Open your image files in Microsoft Windows Paint.

Then chose to save them as 24bit BMP files. And then stic .ico at the end of the file name, so it looks like this:

MyIcon.ico

Hi

there should be a program on your vb cd called "IMAGEDIT.EXE", this is free and allows you to create your own icons, it is very siimple but effective none the less, if you haven't got it i can email it to you if you like
