Image list controls and image resourcesHi
I notice that in some cases, to get an icon, an object (for example a list view) uses an image list, in others (e.g. a form) the image is selected from the project resources, i.e. a file. As I have images that I'd like to use in both situations I would like to use the same method for each. Preferably, as I find importing images as resources as often as not crashes VS, I would like to work with an image list. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance Mark PS Sorry if I completely missed something obvious... Mark,
At least for me it is not clear what is the problem. Did you try it?

Sorry I was a little vague... Basically there are 2 problems: 1) I would like to contain all my icons in one image list that could be used for form icons (i.e. the one that appears in the title bar), as well as list and tree views etc. There appears to be no image list property for forms, the icon property being a file reference. 2) When I import icons, as resources, to use as form icons VS crashes. On restarting it is ok and the icon is available, but its a slow crash nd a real time waster. I have a database which the users can assign icons to specific record types. I would like to use these icons both when the record is displayed in a treeview (for example) and as the forms icon when the record is opened. I would like both situations to use the same icon without having to keep an image list and folder full of icon resources synchronised some how. I hope this makes sense...?

This is a question I have in my idea seen many times answered by Herfried, Can you search for yourself in these newsgroups threads where that was in. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/search?q=Herfried+icons+imagelist& I hope this helps, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Mark" <m*@abc.com> schreef in bericht news:aTUQg.31452$cx.19168@newsfe1-gui.ntli.net... > Hi Cor > > Sorry I was a little vague...

Managed to find the following (but haven't tried it yet) Dim ico As Icon Dim bmIcon As Bitmap = CType(ImageList1.Images(0), Bitmap) ico = Icon.FromHandle(bmIcon.GetHicon) Me.Icon = ico Cheers Mark Show quoteHide quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:uByhDKt3GHA.1568@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > Mark, > > This is a question I have in my idea seen many times answered by Herfried, > > Can you search for yourself in these newsgroups threads where that was in. > http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb/search?q=Herfried+icons+imagelist& > > I hope this helps, > > Cor > > "Mark" <m*@abc.com> schreef in bericht > news:aTUQg.31452$cx.19168@newsfe1-gui.ntli.net... >> Hi Cor >> >> Sorry I was a little vague...
