Hello, How can I get the pictures stored in an Image List control out and
back in their original bmp or ico files.

I'm converting my controls from Microsoft Common Controls 5.0 to 6.0. I
need to pull out the images in the 5.0 control so I can add them to the 6.0
control.

Thanks

Dom

Hi,
I also thought about this, but did not find any simple way, so I always keep
original images as files. Perhaps you can try to ask at VB newsgroup

I remember helping someone a while back extract Icons from his Image List
control. The key was to convert a StdPicture handle into a Bitmap that could
be saved to disk. Further for Icons, the control exposes an ExtractIcon
handle if I remember correctly.
If one was using VB it would be a very simple matter to produce a disk based
Bitmap or Icon file because it has a PictureBox control that accepts a
StdPicture object and this control exposes a SaveAs method. With Access the
conversion process would all have to be done via the GDI.

There is code on my site to do all of the above but it is in a couple of
different projects.
