Using Icons in ImageList

[BrianMc]

Hello,

I am having trouble using some icons. I am trying to add the Icons to an ImageList of a Toolbar for use in the buttons on the Toolbar. When I try to add the Icons to the Image Collection I get an error that says "Invalid parameter used."

I found a lot of Excel-like Icons online. I have some icons that work and some that don't. Unfortunately the ones I want to use aren't working for me. I have attached two icons called Bold and Bold2. I can add Bold to my ImageList. Bold2 will throw an error if I try to add it. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem and/or how I can get around it?

Thanks,
-Brian

When i try to open bold2.ico i am seeing something that is not an icon but rather it seems to me that you did some conversion or something in binary format. Did you? If so then of course you cannot display that icon as noraml icon unless you roll back it from binary.
Your icon bold2 looks like on the pic bellow:

Icons

I got the Icons from http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/Resources/Graphics_Library/Icons/Toolbar/index.asp

The Standard Icons you can download from there work fine. The icons the other downloads don't. when you open them they appear just like your screenshot. The Standard icons don't have all of the icons that I want. Is it possible to 'fix' those icons so they work?

I am not sure that i can be of help here. As this is VB.NET related forum maybe you should put the question in other forums related to something closer to it.
