I have a control I built, for which I would like to add a tool bar icon, but
for some reason, it's not working correctly.
There is no default namespace (I removed it from the properies page of the
project), and the icon file has been included in the project and it's build
option is set to "Embedded Resource."
The only thing I can think of that could be messing it up (but I'm not sure)
is that the class file and the icon file are in subfolders in the project
itself. Other than that, when I compile, and add the DLL to the Toolbox, it
comes up with the standard gear control icon instead of the icon I chose.
Any ideas?
Code is this:
Namespace OS.WinForms.Con trols
<ToolboxBitmap( GetType(OS.WinF orms.Controls.P rogressBar),
"ProgressBar.ic o")> _
Public Class ProgressBar
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Control
...yadda yadda yadda...
End Class
End Namespace
Thanks for any help.

Try removing the .ico from the icon name.

Removing the .ico from the name doesn't work. I've also tried adding it
directly as a resource in the project properties pages, which doesn't work
either. Perhaps there's an issue with the icon itself?

Maybe because it's an icon. Try a bitmap.

Finally figured it out.
For all those who are interested, the icon file MUST have a filename with a
prefix of the Namespace where the class is located at.
For example, the full path to my class is
"OS.WinForms.Co ntrols.Progress Bar", so the filename of the Icon had to be
"OS.WinForms.Co ntrols.Progress Bar.ico"
Once I renamed the file, I could reference the icon correctly using:
Namespace OS.WinForms.Con trols
<ToolboxBitmap( GetType(Progres sBar), "ProgressBa r")> _
Public Class ProgressBar
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Control
.........
End Class
End Namespace
Basically, the icon file has to have a filename of the full path of the
class + ".ico"

Ok. I want to settle this once and for all. After looking at the source
for various, rather sizeable (but not all were so big) web sites that
use icons that show up in the addressbar beside the address itself.
Just about all websites that use said icons use one of these two methods
(some use both even) to make them appear (in the code of a webpage.) :
<LINK REL="icon" HREF="/icon.ico" TYPE="image/ico">
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON"...

Hello people!
I have a quite complicated question.
While creating a ToolBar in code, it is possible to pass the standard icons located in COMMCTRL to the image list of the ToolBar. I'm talking about the icons that most of programs use, like:
STD_COPY, STD_CUT, STD_DELETE, STD_FILENEW, STD_FILEOPEN and so on.
This is very useful because you don't need to load these icons as resources anymore, because they exist already in system.
