Hi,

You have 2 options:

PopupControl.Icons.AddIcons ImageManager.Icons
PopupControl.Icons.AddIcon ImageManager.Icons.GetImage(ID_ICON_IN_IMAGEMANAGER, 16).CreatePicture(xtpImageNormal), ID_ICON_IN_POPUPCONTROL, xtpImageNormal

Set Item = PopupControl.AddItem(0, 0, 0, 0, "")
       Item.CalculateHeight
       Item.CalculateWidth

Item.IconIndex = ID_ICON_IN_IMAGEMANAGER
Item.IconIndex = ID_ICON_IN_POPUPCONTROL

Thank you. Do you have also a solution to use the ImmageManager Icons together with the TaskDialog?

I have a technical question about the 2 techniques (and a 3rd) -

For #1 (.AddIcons) - Does the PopupControl make a separate copy of all of the ImageManager icons? That is, does using this method use 2x the memory?

For #2 (.AddIcon/.CreatePicture) - It seems that this method doesn't support the alpha channel (I assume this is because CreatePicture returns a StdPicture object). Is there a way to get alpha channel support?

I've also successfully used:

Set Me.PopupControl1.Icons = Me.ImageManager1.Icons

Does this mehotd use 2x the memory (that is, is a copy of each icon made), or does using this method just set a reference to the icons in the ImageManager.

Basically, I only want to use a couple of images from my ImageManager (with lots of icons) with my PopupControl (with alpha channel), so I would like to use the most memory efficient method possible.

Thanks a lot.
