Icon inheritance problem

Hi,

I have posted a bug of the forms designer that overwrites always the Icon, thus preventing Icon inheritance when you derive from a form. I am trying to overcome this by adding an ImageList in the base class. However, this doesn't solve my problem about Icon inheritance. The idea is to put Icon showing code inside the base form class. I add this code to the new() sub:

'Show the inherited icon
Me.Icon = Icon.FromHandle ((New System.Drawing. Bitmap(Me.IconI mageList.Images (0))).GetHicon)

The code works fine, but as you know, the new sub of the base class is called first and the new of the derived class overrides the icon definition in the InitializeCompo nent(). I don't want to repeat the code in all the derived form classes (what is inheritance for??). Any ideas of how to overcome this???

TIA,

Mariano.

Recently, I tried and did a poor job explaining an idea I've had for handling a particular case of implementation inheritance that would be easy and obvious in a fully OOP language, but is not at all obvious in VBA which lacks inheritance. I'm trying the explanation again now. I often find cases where a limited form of inheritance would eliminate duplication my code that seems impossible to eliminate otherwise. I'm getting very...

Hi, I have a form with a tray icon. However, when I minimize the form, it stays visible - not in the task bar (I have showintaskbar property set to false), but in a form of a rectangle sitting above the task bar. Can't figure out why that happens - it looks very ugly... Any ideas ? Zeljko

I have an application with a document management form. When users add documents to the form, I call the API function SHGetFileInfo to get the associated large and small icons for the file. These icons are added to two ImageList objects which are bound to a ListView control, and everything looks great. I am saving the icons to a SQL Server table by using Icon.Save to a stream and assigning the byte array to the field, then loading them...

Hi there, I assigned icon for a window's form using form's Icon property at design time. Now I want to change the icon. I tried to replace the old icon with the new icon using form's Icon property. Somehow in the form's property window's Icon property has changed to new icon, but on the form it still uses the old icon. Then I tried to set Icon property to None, and it doesn't allow me to do it. I don't know why and how can I fix...

Hello NG, what are the right dimensions for a window icon, used on a mdi child window? My Problem: I used a third party Icon-Designer to design some icons for my application.
