Hi,
In my VB.NET 2005 application I want to reuse several icons in different
sizes. My icons contains images of 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and 48x48. The
problem is: I doesn't always use the right size: sometimes it resizes the
48x48 image to 16x16 instead of taking the 16x16 image. Is there a way to
specify which image of the icon has to be used?
Thansk a lot in advance,
Pieter

Pieter,
The icon class has several constructors that take as arguments an
existing icon, and a preferred size:
Initializes a new instance of the Icon class and attempts to find a
version of the icon that matches the requested size.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub New(Icon, Size)
Initializes a new instance of the Icon class from a resource in the
specified assembly.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub New(Type, String)
Initializes a new instance of the Icon class and attempts to find a
version of the icon that matches the requested size.
[Visual Basic] Public Sub New(Icon, Integer, Integer)
You should be able to pass it the Icon that you loaded from your
resource, plus the desired size. MSDN docs say that is uses an icon of
the closest size. If you need a 48x48 and one isn't there, then it
might use the 32x32. If you need a 48x48, you will have to use
Graphics.DrawIm age and stretch the image during drawing.
I hope this helps, please let me know how it turns out.

Thanks for the info. Any idea how I can do this at designtime? For instance:
I have buttons, and the image-property must be set to the icon. I would like
to set these at designtime, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add
specify there the size?
Thanks a lot anyways!

Pieter,
I have no ideas, sorry. I noticed that the PictureBox control will
always pick the right icon size (as you resize it in the designer) when
in StrechMode. But a Button control always seems to pick the largest
(or last?) image defined in the icon file.
-- Tim
Yes indeed, and this behaviour anoys me, hehe :-)

Take a look at TestStruct1 and TestStruct2. Clearly, the D2 part of
the union is MUCH larger than the D1 portion. I would expect
sizeof(TestStruct1)==sizeof(TestStruct2) but that is not the case
using Microsoft Visual C++ 2003. Here is what I get
sizeof(TestStruct1)==0x108
sizeof(TestStruct2)==0x104
Is this normal C++ compiler behavior, or a bug in the compiler?

I wrote some code that is supposed to enumerate through the specified file's
win32 resources and return a string-array of all icon names. When it runs,
it returns a string-array with a bunch of numbers in sequential order (1-55
when ran against iexplore.exe).
When I open up iexplore.exe in Visual Studio, I see 23 icons. Each icon has
1 or more sizes of the icon...I'm assuming that there are, in fact, 55 icon
resources in iexplore.exe,...

Found it.
You have to use the ToBitmap method in the Icon object, then that will
convert to an Image.
Image^ aImage = theIcon->ToBitmap();

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
