in [VB.NET]

From: TMC on 11 Nov 2009 07:14 Hey All, I was wondering if there anyone knows where a good set of standard icons can be obtained? For example, consider the classic Office XP icons. Is there a company, website, etc. where these can be obtained? Thanks

There's an icon or three in it, and they go back to windows 95, so they're as "standard" as you can get. There was another .dll that had a stack of icons in it, too, but I just can't remember what it was called. It's cheating a bit, but a lot of programs have their icon buried in it, so use snico.exe or similar to open the .exe files you want an icon for, and extract it. I don't know if you're _not_ allowed to, but if Microsoft buries icons in programs, I can't see why you can't extract them. One thing I will point out - those icons you want represent the software of microsoft, which was (and probably still is) the most aggressive company in the world about its trademarks being used without permission Be careful how you use them.

Most of the ones I use with my VB apps are in PNG format, which work really well. -- Jack |
