    Posted: 23 February 2006 at 6:55pm

I am attempting to add an icon to the ImageManager and then subsequently assigning it to a ReportRecordItem. I use the following:

iIdx% = -152

lIconIdx& = (Me.ImageMan.Icons.Count + 1)

sIconPath$ = "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll"

hIcon& = ExtractIcon(frmMain.hWnd, sIconPath$, iIdx%)

Me.ImageMan.Icons.AddIcon hIcon&, lIconIdx&, xtpImageNormal

This code certainly returns an icon handle and appears to properly add the icon to the ImangeManager. I see that the ImageManager Icon.Count property increments by one. I then try to assign the icon to the ReportRecordItem like so:

r.Item(1).Icon = lIconIdx&

After calling Me.rc.Populate I see that the text of the ReportRecordItem has shifted to the right somewhat as though the icon was there. However, if it is there it is invisible. I've tried any number of different indexes into the shell32.dll library but all have the same result. I suspect the issue is related to there being multiple icons within a single icon file? If so, is there a way around this? Or, perhaps my code is incorrect?

Thx

Hello,

ExtractIcon by default loads 32*32 icon. Try ExtractIconEx:

ExtractIconEx "C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll", -152, 0, hIcon, 1
