>Hi,
I have a 48x48 icon named <ApplicationName>.ico which, when I build my
application, is therefore used as the executable icon. However, in
Windows Explorer it is possible to use various different views that
require different icon sizes. Explorer will automatically scale the
icon to the correct size, but the scaling is not very good. I actually
have various different sizes of this icon, so I was wondering if it is
possible to specify multiple icons such that the correct size for a
particular view would be automatically used?
Thanks,
Chris.
A single ICON file can contain multiple icon images of different sizes, so add
ICONs of different sizes to the same file. If you open an ICON in VS 2005 you
will see that there is a list of sizes in a dropdown (as I recall) when you
select a size you will be shown the ICON of that size.
Sorry I can't give you a detailed description of how to do this, but it's been a
long time since I've done it.
Good luck with your project,
