Steps to create Icon using Axialis. I'm still using 5.0 so steps might differ slightly.

1. File->Open then select your 32x32 image
2. Image->Create New Icon From Selection...
3. Click the "Other Image Format" button at the bottom of the dialog that pops up.
4. Select the "True Colors 16.8M (24 bits)" color option
5. Select the 32x32 Pixel Size.
6. Click the "OK" button. Now you should have your icon.
7. Select the "Transparent Color" from your paint box on the right.
8. Fill in all the background color with the "Transparent Color". I usually have to use the "Pencil" tool to do this as the "Fill" tool does not seem to work for me.
9. File->Save As and now choose a name for your icon and your finished.

Let me know if you need more help.

I have about 10, I would send them to you and let you convert them for me, thanks for offering, but I would really like to be able to do this myself. There will be an 11th icon any day now.

We got the Axialis IconWorkShop (version 6 I think). What are the steps you take to convert ? Everything we try is not working, looks like a problem with the background colors (icons are loading, just don't look good like the one you did)

Thanks

How many icons you have? I'll convert them for you if you don't have allot, say around 10 or so. Just make sure they are 32x32 and zip them up.]]> Fri, 27 Jan 2006 15:11:33 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3561&PID=10727&title=how-to-get-lg-icons-in-mdi-tabworkspace#10727 <![CDATA[How to get lg Icons in MDI TabWorkspace : I used Axialis IconWorkShop 5.0....]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3561&PID=10726&title=how-to-get-lg-icons-in-mdi-tabworkspace#10726 Author: SuperMario

I used Axialis IconWorkShop 5.0.

Still having trouble... Your icon's working, mine are not. What did you use to convert that bmp file ?

Thanks

Ok, I had an old piece of code in there (trying to set ME.icon) while I was trying to figure it out. Took that out and followed what you did and now it works!

Thanks

All I did was at design time clik on the icon property of the frmDocument and add the Icon supplied. Your using VB6 with latest SP? Somehow it is getting converted to 16 colors.]]> Fri, 27 Jan 2006 13:10:08 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3561&PID=10722&title=how-to-get-lg-icons-in-mdi-tabworkspace#10722 <![CDATA[How to get lg Icons in MDI TabWorkspace : Your sample works fine on my computer,...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3561&PID=10721&title=how-to-get-lg-icons-in-mdi-tabworkspace#10721 Author: victor
