Hi Oleg. Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion wouldn't work for me. I have since found out that the Icon class in VB.net does not support the alpha colours. I did find though that converting to a bitmap somehow works.

Dim bmp As Bitmap

bmp = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:\Windows\system32\mstsc.exe").ToBitmap

bmp.Save(GetAppPath() & "mstsc.bmp")

ImageManager1.Icons.LoadBitmap(GetAppPath() & "mstsc.bmp", ID_CONNECT_RDC, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal)

What I haven't been able to do is to capture the image without saving it first so alhough not perfect it works. It would be nice if you were to include an extract icon method that worked in your next release seeing as VB.Net doesn't support it.

Hi,

 
Add bolded lines to your Main method:
 

Shared Sub Main()

Application.EnableVisualStyles()

Application.DoEvents()

...
frmMain.Instance = New frmMain
Application.Run(frmMain.Instance)

End Sub

Hi Oleg,
 
Thanks for your reply... not sure what you mean. I am working with VB.net  2005 and V12 of Xtreme Suite. I cannot seem to find anywhere that mentions ComCtl... have you got a snippet to show me what you mean.
Regards,

Hi,
 
Guess it extracts Alpha icon. You need enable ComCtrl v6.0 to allow use it.

Using VB2005
Hi,
 
This works

Dim ic As Icon

ic = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe")

ImageManager1.Icons.AddIcon(ic.Handle, ID_CONNECT_VNC, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal)

This doesn't ... it produces a horrible black border around the icon
ic = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon("C:\Windows\system32\mstsc.exe")

ImageManager1.Icons.AddIcon(ic.Handle, ID_CONNECT_RDC, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal)

CommandBars.Icons.AddIcon(ic.Handle, ID_CONNECT_RDC, XtremeCommandBars.XTPImageState.xtpImageNormal)

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ??

Regards to all
