Icon color resolution

[nasrin1984]

Dear Experts I am designing a c++\mfc program. I have a problem by the resolution of the icons in the designing procedure. When I open a designed icon, visual studio open it as 256 color image, however the original image has a higher resolution. Also, when I create a new icon visual studio sets its resolution as 16 colors. How I can open the icon as original resolution or increase the resolution of an icon? Please guide me to solve the problem. Bests

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511280.aspx#development[^], especially the note which states:Visual Studio doesn't support Windows Vista icons (there is no support for alpha channel or more than 256 colors), so its use is not recommended. .

Veni, vidi, abiit domum

That's not problem. When you using your icon resource from source, there is not resolution problem occurred. You can load your icon resource from files with LoadIcon function. You can see details from MSDN. That's all. :)
