icons

[hog]

Something I've never done before is create an icon fo VB?

Is there a package that comes with VB Pro or do you need to buy a third party product?

I found a few good programs on the net. Just do a search for Icon Editor and there are plenty.

You can import any type of image then save them as ico file.

Most are 30 day trial programs, but that will get you started.

You can then bring them into VB and edit them again using the internal tools of VB.

Visual Studio includes excellent icon editing capabilities.

divil, could you point me in the right direction please as although I have a freebie program I'd like to try out what VB has to offer. I've tried searcjing for icon, shortcut etc but drawn a blank so far.

Right click your project, goto Add, Add New Item, scroll down to "Icon File". And the simply add it. Or just add an existing ico file to your project and double click it. That icon editor is pretty cool.

I havent used the VB one much, but can you import an image and edit it in the icon editor?
