icons on menus .. in VB6

[giddy_guitarist]

Hie , ok i know that one must use the SetMenuItemBitmaps API to add a bitmap on a menu.. .BUT.. it is limited ONLY to a about a 13 X 13 pic.THe icons kinda get clipped if they're bigger.. BUT I know it is possible to hav a SLIGHTLY bigger icon on a menu.There are so many apps with about a 16*16 icon. Infact the min. size SHOULD be about 16 X 16. Does anyone know how to do that?? ... perhaps.. by using BitBlt:confused: Thanx Gideon

hie, thanx for nothing.. i found out myself;P... you use the LoadImage API.. and specify 16 *16 in the size params and the icon resizes ... !... ALSO.. thanx to some1 on another forum.. i found out although loadImage loads from a file , YOU CAN specify a resource ID .. instead of a .ico file..BUT this will not work in the IDE. :-> hope that helped!:-D
