Where to get standard toolbar icons?

I've just spent a fruitless couple of hours looking for some
information on this. I want to use the standard windows icons for
open, new, save, close, print, etc on my form's toolbar. All I can
find in the way of docs and examples is how to add a custom image.
Anyone have any examples of how to access the windows icon images for
this?

Are you using a ToolStrip? If so, in the designer, there should be an
item in the flyout menu (the menu that comes out when you click the arrow in
the upper right hand corner) to "Insert Standard Items". This will insert
most of the items you are looking for, along with images.

On top of that, a new set of standard icons has been shipped with VS.NET
2005. You can find it here:

%program directory%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary

There should be a zip file there with the icon library in it.

THANK you. I can now glue my hair back in. (No. Don't try to visualize
it. Just don't.)
