What is the exact syntax for using DrawIconEx

as you can see it doesn't work. I tried adding .PictureBox1 (the name

I'm new to this, so please bear with me.

Why do you want to use unmanaged code? Just curious.

I've done all that. I just took my code out of context.
I didn't think that I had to show it all.
It's just that DrawIconEx(System.WIndows.Forms.PictureBox.Picture 1.hdc
doesn't work either.
So what is the syntax for System.Forms.....?

Where do you get the Icon from? Do you have a System.Drawing.Icon object or

Wherever possible, use the Graphics object to draw. In a Paint event, you
get it in e.graphics. Outside Paint, you create it by calling
YourControl.Creategraphics. Then call the Graphics object's DrawIcon method.

Now who in their right mind wants to go thru all the trouble of the

when in VB6 you could just do it.
I'm trying to learn VB.Net, but as you can see I have a mindset to
overcome.
VB6 is SO MUCH EASIER to understand and to code for; I started with VB
3.0 on WIndows 3.11 and was writing code within a 1/2 hr.
Now I can't even get the program to run unless I do ctrl+F5
VB6 not being an OOP language, as far as I am concerned is a complaint
of the Publishers of magazines, C++ and Java programmers who have a
propensity to favor total OOP languages.
Now that said, I would be willing to wager that 1,000's of VB6 programs
run companies.
So to say it's not a 'real' language is absurd.
But I digress.
Sorry to go on a rant, but I had to say my 2 cents worth. For whatever
that's worth.

Armin,
1. Up above is the method with which I retrieved the Icon.
Today... I did not quote it because I wanted to know how you get the icon
because you posted it meanwhile. I only quoted it because I wrote how you
use the graphics object to paint an icon, and because you wrote you didn't
find the correct declaration. That's why I assumed that you didn't see the
message and I quoted it again.
2. What the heck is 'the managed version'? Never heard of that
before.
Calling API functions (also called pInvoke (=plattform invoke)) is the
"native" way to draw an icon, wheras using the classes in the
..Net Framework is called the "managed" way. It is called that
because the Framework provides the "managed excution" of applications
that are based on the framework.
3. I must be stupid or whatever, because I don't understand
a damn
thing you are saying about Icon.handle and create an Icon, etc.
An Icon is an object. See class System.Drawing.Icon. The method
Icon.FromHandle is a method that can be used to create an Icon object by
passing an icon handle. Pass the icon handle that you got from the
Extracticon function.
I extracted the Icon, NOW, How do I draw it into a Picture Box.
Step by Step.
1. get the icon handle using your api function
2. call icon.fromhandle to create an Icon

Armin;
Thank you for your time and efforts.
I will give it a try.
Hopefully I can get it to work.
As an aside; Who knew that Native was not as good as Managed.
Native sounds like it's built in, and Managed sounds like it run by a
committee. LOL
Marshall
Marshall,
I agree with Armin. I've been coding for some time but I just started
coding in .NET a couple of years ago. It takes about 3-6 months before you
"get it" (OOP) but once you do you don't want to go back. VB6 uses objects
it just conceals them from you and consequently you don't get the benefit of
being able to use them yourself for the most part.
The basic idea of "managed code" is that your code runs in it's own process
space and the framework "manages" it. The framework keeps an application
from interfering with other applications running on the system and keeps the
application from interfering with the system itself. There are a number of
advantages to "managed code", including cleaning up objects after they're no
longer needed, but the most significant is probably that in the even that
your program crashes the vast majority of the time it won't affect other
running applications or crash the system. If you use "unmanaged code" and
you make a simple programming error you can crash the entire system.
I'm sure that some of the other posters could give you a better synopsis of
the advantages but that should give you a good start.
I've read quite a few books on OOP and .NET and if you'd like to keep the
length of time it takes to "get it" down to 3 months get a copy of John
Connell's book Coding Techniques for Microsoft(r) Visual Basic(r) .NET.
