Ah, okay.  I guess I didn't run into this since we use unique Icon IDs across the entire application.  I'm using a 5 digit ID, where the first two digits represent the component and the last 3 identify the specific icon.  That way, we can add more icons into a particular component and keep them together in the group.

Here's an example of our list....

' General Icons
Public Const Icon_General_New = 11001
Public Const Icon_General_Edit = 11002
Public Const Icon_General_Save = 11003

' Sales order icons
Public Const Icon_Sales_Quote = 12001
Public Const Icon_Sales_Order = 12002
Public Const Icon_Sales_Credit = 12003

' Inventory icons
Public Const Icon_Inventory_Product = 13001
Public Const Icon_Inventory_Warehouse = 13002
Public Const Icon_Inventory_Lot = 13003


With this example, I would use Icon_Sales_Order for the MDIMenu, the CommandBar on the MDI and any PushButton controls that need to display a sales order.

I know  that could be do in that way... BUT  I WANT TO KNOW the reason of the bug that i described. that's all!

We have many forms that have a "Save" CommandBar control.  Instead of duplicating those icons on each form, we found it easier to just have a single ImageManager.  The ImageManager is on an invisible form.  We can easily update an icon in one place and it will immediately update all controls throughout our application.

We've used the same approach for images on PushButton controls.  When each form loads, we call a global routine that sets the Icon based on an ID parameter.  It retrieves the icon using the Icons.GetImage() method of the ImageManager.

I'm not sure if that helps, but I wanted to share my experience.


Yes, it helps but as a tecnique for centralize a resource (image-icon) to improve the modifications and memory usage...

What i have did say is:

then, if i want to load the iconid 101 from Imagemanager2 (in form2)... it loads the iconid 101 from imagemanager1 (form1) instead...

I mean: that is a bug i think... because it happens when the proyect is compiled and not when is in VB IDE.
It seems like their share the id's in the entire proyect exe. Understand??

I'm just getting started with an ImageManager that will initially contain over 80 icons.  I was planning on using a five digit number, where the first digit represents the category (in our application).  For example, 10001, 10002, 20001, 20002, 20003, etc.

I recall seeing some comments about a few reserved IDs, but I can't find that list anywhere.  Can someone point me to that?
