Re: windows icon question....

[Evan Adelman]

hey grimm - sorry i can't be of more help on this as i'm slightly bogged down but a PC/Windows possible path might be to use the vb extra (off hand i don't know where it is, but it's affordable if a client is paying) (this xtra allows you to call a vb method) and use vb to pull out the icon resource. a quick search on google "saving icon resources from dll" points to http://vbaccelerator.nuwebhost.com/codelib/shell/shelicon.htm which has at least a start on the code you'd need to modify. if i get freed up here, i'll try to do more (as it would be a very handy function to have for me too)

Any way of grabbing a file's icon from the dll via an xtra?
