QUESTION: LoadIcons from XML

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

I like to know the Id of icons after reading them from XML and importing into an ImageManager.

The XML-File is created from an ImageManager and looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DesignerFile CompactMode="1" Schema="33">
    <Images>
        <IconSet Id="4">
            <Icon Width="16" Data="ABAAAAA..."/>
        </IconSet>
        <IconSet Id="2">
            <Icon Width="16" Data="ABAAAAAABCAAAAAAE...

What I need are the Ids of the Icon: 4, 2, ...
Where can I find this Id's in the ImageManager.Icons?
Is this information lost after import? 

Additional question: Do the icons with alpha blending still have alpha blending after this export and import?

Code fragments to
SaveIcons:

Dim myStateOptions As StateOptions
Set myStateOptions = CommandBars1.CreateStateOptions
myStateOptions.SerializeImages = True
myStateOptions.SerializeLayout = False

Dim PropExchange As PropExchange
Set PropExchange = CommandBarsGlobalSettings.CreatePropExchange
PropExchange.CreateAsXML False, "DesignerFile"
CommandBars1.DoPropExchange PropExchange, myStateOptions
PropExchange.SaveToFile App.Path & "\Icons.xml"

LoadIcons:

Dim myStateOptions As StateOptions
Set myStateOptions = CommandBars1.CreateStateOptions
myStateOptions.SerializeImages = True
myStateOptions.SerializeLayout = False

Dim PropExchange As PropExchange
Set PropExchange = CommandBarsGlobalSettings.CreatePropExchange
PropExchange.CreateAsXML True, "DesignerFile"
If PropExchange.LoadFromFile(App.Path & "\Icons.xml") Then
    CommandBars1.DoPropExchange PropExchange, myStateOptions            
End If
