ImageManager Icon Handle

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm trying to use ImageManager icons at runtime to set the MDI Child Form and Workspace Tab Icons. Using Form.Icon always looks terrible, but this works and looks great:

hBitmap = LoadImageAsString(0, "somefile.ico", IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_LOADFROMFILE)
SendMessageLong Me.hWnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, hBitmap

The problem is that I'm not distributing all of the individual icons with my app. Just one binary file with all of the icons in ImageManager format. Once I have that loaded, how can I get an Icon handle for any given ImageManager Icon that is compatible with WM_SETICON?

This doesn't seem to work:
hBitmap = ImageManagerIcons.GetImage(ICON_ID, 16).Handle
SendMessageLong Me.hWnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, hBitmap

Is there some other way to do this?

Thanks
