Hi, currently I am developing a shortcut for my program. But when I call the manager.icons , it doesn't show any icons. May I know why? Below is my code:

Public Class ThisPane

    Private PaneA As PaneA = New PaneA
    Private PaneB As PaneB = New PaneB
    Private PaneC As PaneC = New PaneC

    Private Sub ThisPane_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        CreateShortCutBar()
    End Sub

    Private Sub ThisPane_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize
        wndShortCut.SetBounds(1, 1, Me.ClientRectangle.Width - 2, Me.ClientRectangle.Height - 2)
    End Sub

    Private Sub createShortCutBar()
        PaneB.Visible = False
        PaneC.Visible = False

        Dim ItemA As ShortcutBarItem = wndShortCut.AddItem(ID.SHORTCUT_A, "A", PaneA.Handle.ToInt32)
        Dim ItemB As ShortcutBarItem = wndShortCut.AddItem(ID.SHORTCUT_B, "B", PaneB.Handle.ToInt32)
        Dim ItemC As ShortcutBarItem = wndShortCut.AddItem(ID.SHORTCUT_C, "C", PaneC.Handle.ToInt32)

        wndShortCut.Selected = ItemA
        wndShortCut.Icons = ImageManager.Icons
    End Sub
End Class

Thanks for help.

Hello,

Are you sure ImageManager contains icons for ID.SHORTCUT_A/B/C ?

Hi oleg, thanks for the reply. I am confuse, below are my questions.

How to know that I am having the icon for A, B, C? Is it the Icon A, B, C must save into Application.StartUpPath & "\bin\Icons" ? How about the icon name? The ImageManager doesn't specify which location and file.

thanks.

I just call this: wndShortCut.Icons = ImageManager.Icons to load the icons. And I put my Icons file in Application.StartUpPath & "\Icons". But I create the Icons by using Windows Paint. Is it this is the problem ?

Hi, I really don't know how u call the Icons from. I just follow your sample code which only putting down this line: wndShortCut.Icons = ImageManager.Icons then your icons will be loaded, why?

Hi,

Right click on ImageManager in sample and choose Properties - you will see that icons was added to ImageManager in designtime.

So you can add them in designtime or manually load from files to call

ImageManager.Icons.LoadBitmap or LoadIcon
