Embedded icon file - how to reference?
by:Wayne Hoover
|
I have an embedded icon resource in my project - I need to reference this icon for a grid cell. I've tried using the following but it does not work. Any help appreciated:
Dim im As System.Drawing.Image
im = CType(getobject("CHECKMRK.ICO"), _
System.Drawing.Image) <-- Fails here.
g_mainform.fg.SetCellImage(g_mainform.FG.Row _
, 5, im)

| | Hi,
Dim ico As Icon
Dim p As System.Reflection.Assembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
ico = New System.Drawing.Icon _
(p.GetManifestResourceStream(Me.GetType, "Icon1.ico"))

Add the icon file to your project and set its 'Build Action' property to
'Embedded Resource'. You can use the code below to load the icon at
runtime:
\\foo.Icon = _
New Icon( _
[Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream( _
"WindowsApplication1.Ball.ico" _
) _
)
///
'WindowsApplication1' is the root namespace of the application, "Ball.ico"
is the icon's filename.

| | Hi Herfried --
I tried the prior response and now get this:
g_mainform.fg.SetCellImage(g_mainform.FG.Row, 5, chkMarkico)
Value of type 'System.Drawing.Icon' cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Image'.
Any help appreciated!

Icons are not images for .NET! You may want to use a bitmap instead of
an icon.
