Extract different sized icons from a file

[avidichard]

I know ExtractIcon and ExtractIconEx does a bit what I want but it is missing a really important feature for me.

How can you extract an icon in a file 48x48 and 256x256 if it has one or any other sizes. All APIs extract only 16x16 or 32x32 icons I want to extract other ones and put them in a picturebox. I don't want to resize the icon in VB by resizing the picturebox since the quality is not the same and the icon is not always the same.

I've used Microangelo, which creates ALL formats in ONE file. Not sure how to extract them, but, you can save one size in ANY format. Even create an ICON from a JPG

I do not want a program to do this, I've got my own that I like very well. I want to integrate this in my VB 6 app.

I want to load an icon size 48x48 or 256x256 or 24x24, etc, from an EXE file (example) and show the icon in a picture box.

It's a s simple as that.

I'm sure that if it were publicized, we'd be able to find it on the web...
