Control Icons

[JezB]

Does anyone know if I can programatically obtain the appropriate icon (as
shown in the toolbox in the IDE) given a specific control? eg. obtain a
button icon, a checkbox icon, a label icon, etc. I would imagine not since
the images would not automatically be distributed as part of an application.

Failing that does anyone know where the images for these reside so that I
can "borrow" them and embed them into an ImageList in my project ?

Hi,

I think those images are distributed via resource files. Maybe u can use
ResourceManager object to retrieve those images. But u have to know the ids
of those images.

Hope this helps...

I wrote an application that removes and saves all images, icons, cursors from the resources of any assembly. Write me personally and I can give it to you. But beware: you MAY not use this to retrieve and use resources that are copyrighted or you might get in trouble..

Before you do anything please read this: http://www.microsoft.com/permission/copyrgt/cop-img.htm#Icon
