icons

Hi,

anyone know where I can get my hands on the proper MS icons for toolbars and menus (i.e. like the ones they use in word)

cheers

Paul

I know there are places that have these icons archives, but I don't have any links.. When I need an icon like that, I just do a screen capture and make the BMP into an ICO... It's a bit of work if you have a lot to do, so you may be better off looking for icons that have already been made, but if you can't find it you can make it...

You van use the ExtractIcon() api call and get them from Word itself...then save them in .ico files in the normal fashion.
I'm not sure if there are legal implications though.

The api call is:


Declare Function ExtractIcon Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ExtractIconA" (byval hInst as Long, byval lpszExeFileName as string, byval nIconIndex as Long) as Long




HTH,
Duncan
