Icons

[marc parthoens]

We have started a c# development.
We are looking for a simple way to get a collection of
icons.
Icons type we need:
- classical windows form like exit, undo, redo, copy to
clipboard, ...
- database management icons like next record, last
record, ...
- other like Office icons, ...

We want to be as close as possible of classical XP icons.
We want this software to be able to run on XP, 2000 and
maybe 98.

Re: Icons

Marc,

You can use some of the icons embedded as resources in Windows XP.
However, you have to be careful, the icon format is changed to accomidate
more colors and higher resolution displays. Because of this, you can't just
use them on 2000 and 98. You will have to adapt them somehow.

If you want to extract the icons, you can make calls to LoadIcon (and
LoadImage I believe). Using those, you can get a handle to an icon, which
you can then pass to the static FromHandle method of the Icon class to get
an Icon instance.

Hope this helps.
