Q: Message Box graphicsHi
I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to find the graphics used in such things as MessageBoxIcon.Warning and MessageBoxIcon.Information The reason is that I'm writing my own customised messages for an applicatio i.e. not using MessageBox but I'd still like to use the same Windows graphics. I'm using XP professional by the way.

Yes, that works, however there is a black edge around the icon. I'm putting a PictureBox on the form (which has itself a bitmap background) and in the load event using: PictureBox1.SystemIcons.Information.ToBitmap Can you suggest how I could get rid of the edge?

Is there a way I I tested this more. I created following code:> can find the icon files in the Windows folder? Form1.BackgroundImage = New Bitmap("c:\MyImage.jpg") PictureBox1.BackColor = Color.Transparent PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize PictureBox1.Image = Drawing.SystemIcons.Information.ToBitmap Information icon rendered very nicely without any edges or other borders. Hopefully you get it work now. I can't see any reason why it would behave differently with you. Are you using Visual Basic 2005? Teemu Hi Teemu
No, I'm using 2003. Thanks for the code. I'll give it a try.
