do you know that VB comes with a large set if icons that you can use?
If you still want to create your own icons and own VB 4, there is an imagedit.exe under the tools directory that allows you to create icons or bitmaps.

You should try this program:
MicroAngelo98!!! It's simply the best!!!
Try this address: http://www.download.com/pc/list/1,339,0-a-0-0-e-1,00.html?tag=st.dl..srch.list&search=microangelo&queryType=quicksearch

If it won't work, then just go to: www.download.com
and search for MicroAngelo

Hello!

Again I'm sorry for my lousy english.
I couldn't find the imagedit.exe nowhere. I have my Visual Basic in directory: D:\Ohjelma tiedostot\Microsoft Visual Basic\*.* and there are no such directory as 'tools'. Are you sure it should be found from there? Thank you.

Yours,
Michael

I am absolutely sure, because I found it in the tools directory of my VB 4 CD.

[Coder79]

Ok, two things. I didn't even seek it from the CD. I just looked at my harddrive Visual Basic directory. But I founded the same program from our server. It's nice program, but I prefer more that MicroAngelo now that I got it from the net (if you wnat it check the address from the first post). It's quite nice program and easy to use. I wonder what it might cost if I buy it? The second thing. What about VB 6? I have it at home and I wonder if there is a same kind a program or should I download the Microangelo to home too. In Visual C++ there are integrated Resource workshop which makes icon drawing very easy and it helps a lot to place the icons drivecode to your program. It would be great add-in to Visual Basic 6.x/7 if there isn't that kind a prog yet.

If I knew that you owned VC6 ,that would have been the first tool I would have mentioned.
Are you aware that VB6 comes with a lot of built-in icons (under the common/graphics directory)?

[Coder79]

Yes I know. There are some Windows icons like gaspumps, airplane, arrows and stuff. Microsoft Visual Basic\Icons directory includes 477 icon files. Thats quite much. I feel sorry for the guy who have drawn them.

If you have VC installed, you can always create/edit icons using that resource editor, without opening any VC project/workspace. Just open the icon file (or new file) and save it to whatever you want after editing.
