Jay
Hello,
I am developing a chat application in C# where I want to send/recieve
emotion icons.
Is there a way to implement this feature?

Hello Jay,

The way that all IM protocols do it that I've ever had a look at, is to
implement the interpretation of the various string shortcuts of the icons
locally. So if somebody sends a message containing the string :-), the
client will notice that when the message is displayed and show an image of
a smiley instead. That is actually a rather good idea, as it allows
various multi-protocol clients to use their own, possibly even replacable
icon sets.

Or were you asking something entirely different?

When you send an email programatically throgh Microsoft Outlook it goes into the Outbox and stays there. I have an application that opens the email window and allows the user to type a message and then hit the Send button. After that the window closes but the message isn't sent like in Outlook Express it goes into the Outbox folder. Is there a way to force Outlook to send the email in the Outbox folder? Cheers, Max

Hi All, I am trying to get a 24x24 "Windows XP" icon to display correctly on a button in my toolbar.

I'd like references on where to find some good (quality) icons to use for form and application icons (for the EXE). Most of the free stuff isn't that great looking and there isn't a good selection. A site offering previews of icons or purchase of a single icon would be nice. Thanks, Brett

I did an experiment and created a icon file with full range of...

I'm trying to create a windows explorer like app and the problem I'm having is getting the proper icon for the folders and items. In windows explorer there are many different icons and most seem to be in the shell32.dll. The problem is that there also seems to be custom icons that are installed by applications. For example, "My Music" In My Documents has an icon that is different from the normal folders. I have installed an application...
