one for load an icon from an executable

tested and fail in all exe files (only as worked in Mozilla firefox.exe ... icon index 1)...

This is the metode included in ListBoxEx?

thanks for the plugin

excuse me !

if you do not know that * icon IDs properly and can not load icon
this is not mean plugin does not work

please try these and tell me what happens
result = Icon.LoadEx("Plugin1", _ProgramFilesFolder.."\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe", 32512, 32, BIT_32, false);
result = Icon.LoadEx("Plugin2", _ProgramFilesFolder.."\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe", 32528, 32, BIT_32, false);
result = Icon.LoadEx("Plugin3", _ProgramFilesFolder.."\\AutoPlay Media Studio 7.0\\ams70.exe", 128, 32, BIT_32, false);

and please check plugin names and file paths in above actions before try


Note : resource IDs can also be string which is not supported by this plugin

Works. WinXP sp3

I confirm this plugin as working under Windows 7 x64 (Build 7229 - Pre RTM)

Would be cool if you found a way to get icon indexes in a numeric table, Or am I asking for too much?

[Centauri Soldier]

Most of my icons are showing up fuzzy or have little black dots around the perimeter. What might I be doing wrong?

[reteset]

Most of my icons are showing up fuzzy or have little black dots around the perimeter. What might I be doing wrong?

for example : if source icons are 16x16 and you draw them 48x48 or 32x32
this problem may occur

and you should set proper bit depth

especially if you enlarge 24 bpp icons this problem may occur

i am going to add a icon enumeration action to plugin soon :yes

[Centauri Soldier]

I see. Well thank you Reteset.

Upated :

Version : 1.1.0.0

What's New :


Now it supports string resource IDs


A new argument added to Icon.LoadEx() for define target icon ID is a number or string


New : Icon.EnumerateIcons() action added which enumerates icon IDs in a executable file and returns a numerically indexed table that contains icon IDs


For Example :

tblIconIDs = Icon.EnumerateIcons("Plugin1", strPath);

in above action if tblIconIDs is not nil
the tblIconIDs[1] should be main icon of target file if it is a exe

but this may differ for sometimes

Why icon uncorrectly displayed 16x16 from user32.dll?
result = Icon.LoadEx("Plugin1", _SystemFolder.."\\User32.dll", 101, 32, BIT_32, false, true);
result = Icon.LoadEx("Plugin2", _SystemFolder.."\\User32.dll", 101, 16, BIT_32, false, true);

48x48 - 256
32x32 - 256
16x16 - 256
48x48 - 32bpp

[reteset]

icon enumeration and string resource ID features will be available in next version of ListboxEx :yes

[Hofiiik]

Are you going to add action for extracting icons from EXE files and saving them as ICO files? It would be great...

[reteset]

yes i am going to do

[Tomasin]

Other suggestion:

IconDoesExist, for verify is exist one icon ID, example:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox.exe,11423

[ShadowUK]

Other suggestion:

IconDoesExist, for verify is exist one icon ID, example:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox.exe,11423

Haven't even updated my install yet but I guess you would just do something like.

if (Icon.EnumerateIcons("Plugin1", strPath)[11423]) then
-- Icon Exists
end

[reteset]

Updated :

Version : 1.2.0.0

What's New :


Bit Depth argument is no longer exist , now plugin uses target file's properties


IntResource argument is no longer exist , now plugin does it automatically


Icon resizing problem fixed


Icon.Extract() action added which extracts icon resources from 32Bit excutable files


Sample project updated

[Tomasin]

Thanks reteset :yes

It's possible add function for extrac icons in BMP, PNG or JPG (32x32 or 16x16)?

Other sugestion for the plugin, add suport for show all icons in the plugin (thumbianil suport) :yes:yes:yes

THANKS!!

thank you , nice to see you again :)

i could not understand that what did you mean (drawing or extacting)

if drawing : this plugin supports only ICO format
if extracting : currently it extracts only ico format

at first ,i planed to make a plugin that shows ico images
but it seems this plugin going to be a icon resource explorer

for extracting other image formats : maybe i can make it later :)

[RizlaUK]

just drawing images would suit me my friend, i would like to be able to edit a image in memory and display it in a image object without saving it to disk first, i am currently using a home brew dll for drawing on the image in memory via its bitmap handle and displaying it in a popup preview window before saving it to disk, if i could load the image via its bitmap handle into a AMS image object of some kind i would be a very happy man.

you need to a custom image object plugin for it

if your Dll can generate a HBITMAP handle that is actually a number

if you can provide a handle to a function like below

Icon.DrawBitmapFromHandle(HBITMAP nBmHandle);

maybe i can try something for it

but i have to say : i can not draw transparent images with this plugin except ICO format

THANKS!!

i am going to add exract icons in other formats option later

Thumbnail is not possible this is not a windowed object
but you can simulate a similar thing with using multiple instaces of plugin
