Icon: Extract icon and save it as ico-file
Hi Oddbjorn,
after you extracract icon. Use DrawIcon function and
draw it to PictureBox (Name: Picture1; AutoRedraw=True; size 32x32pixels).
After it is drawn call SavePicture Picture1, "myicon.ico"
'== sample code==
micon = ExtractIcon(App.hInstance, "c:\windows\calc.exe", 0)
DrawIcon Picture1.hdc, 0, 0, micon
DestroyIcon micon
Picture1.Refresh
SavePicture Picture1.Image, "c:\file.ico" ' the icon size is 32x32, if the
picture if large than 32x32 the result icon is picture compressed to 32x32
'=====end======
The declarations of the functions you will find in API veiwer
that's all, good luck
