Shrink it using Paintbrush, and copy and paste it into BT Icon Editor,
which you get from ftp://ftp.sn.no/user/balchen/util/bticoned.zip

No, they have their own format.

Icons are a Windows thing, not a VB thing.

Nope. Icon pixels can be colored and also transparent which means just what you'd
think -- they take on the color of what's behind them. Bitmaps can't do this. The
iconworks utility that comes with VB might help you to do what you want (it isn't
pretty but the price is right).

ICONWRKS does not render icons properly unless run in 256 color mode.  I've
not looked into why.  When run with a larger pallet the icon image as
displayed will have the bottom half turn to black and, if saved, this WILL
be the way the image is saved.

VB 3.0 (I can't find an ICONWRKS in VB 4/16 or VB 4/32)

OBTW - The WINNT resource kit has an image editor included with it that
       manipulates .BMP, .ICO and .CUR files (bitmap, icon and cursor).
       Also contains an .ANI (animated cursor) editor.
