Sorry for bothering you :P. It turned out my stupid icon was loaded as 48x48, which caused a resize...
 
Argh!
 
Anyway, thanks for your assistance!

Ok, but in my application the error is so obvious:
 
I load the icon and put it in my ribbon, and it looks great! Then, I use the same HICON in a CXTPTaskDialog and it gets an ugly border.
Either it has been scaled, or it is drawn incorrectly!
 
32x32 pixels...
 
This is a fact.

Hi,
 
Just tried with CustomThemes sample
 
 HICON hIcon = NULL;
 UINT iconID = 0;
 if (ExtractIconEx("C:\\WINDOWS\\notepad.exe", 0, 0,&hIcon, 1))
 {
  XTPImageManager()->SetIcon(hIcon, ID_FILE_OPEN);
  DestroyIcon(hIcon);
 }
Works well.

Hi,
It have to be included to your exe - not to our dll.

It's just like ComCtl32.dll v5.8 was being used... I don't get it! My code worked a couple of months ago...

Clearly, the manifest is not included in your dll. Just made a search for the public key token: 6595b64144ccf1df
Not found?]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:27:49 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14405&PID=49870&title=winver0x500-yields-jagged-icon-in-cxtptaskdialog#49870 <![CDATA[WINVER=0x500 yields jagged icon in CXTPTaskDialog : This is really strange.

This is really strange. I don't think this has to do with CJ.
 
If I load ico-files with this API, and then put them in your toolbars, the alpha layer seems to be lost!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648075.aspx
 
This worked a couple of months ago. Since then I've upgraded from 12.1.1 to 13.0.0. Perhaps MS updated a vital DLL somewhere? Don't get it...
 
Could you please try this?
 
HICON hIcon = NULL;
  UINT iconID = 0;
  if (PrivateExtractIcons("C:\\WINDOWS\\notepad.exe", 0, 16, 16, &hIcon, &iconID, 1, LR_COLOR))
  {
   iconID = XTPImageManager()->AddCustomIcon(hIcon);
   pButton->SetIconId(iconID);
   DestroyIcon(hIcon);
  }
 
The resulting image is screwed at the borders...

Hi,

We have standard DrawIconEx API call to draw it. so problem can be only in icon or way you load it. Try add LR_CREATEDIBSECTION  flag.

The icon is loaded via this call: LoadImage(NULL, pFileName, IMAGE_ICON, cxIcon, cyIcon, flags);

Hmm, is this the root cause?]]> Thu, 28 May 2009 10:44:42 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14405&PID=49441&title=winver0x500-yields-jagged-icon-in-cxtptaskdialog#49441 <![CDATA[WINVER=0x500 yields jagged icon in CXTPTaskDialog : I have a custom icon in my CXTPTaskDialog...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14405&PID=49439&title=winver0x500-yields-jagged-icon-in-cxtptaskdialog#49439 Author: znakeeye

I have a custom icon in my CXTPTaskDialog (not using Vista API). When I set WINVER=0x0500 the icon is drawn a la Windows 2000. The borders become jagged (i.e. no alpha blending). Note that I have included the needed manifest!
 
I believe your dialog uses the native icon drawing functions. This causes a problem in the above scenario.
