Creating icons in VS .NET
-
I have a 256-color 96x96 BMP and I want to use it for an icon. The problem is that when I paste the image into the 96x96x256 icon in the VS.NET resource editor, the palette entries are shifted (apparently). How do I do this? Also, how do I create the nice 24-bit icons for XP?

This is what I do in VC 6, I don't see why it wouldn't work in 7. I first insert a placeholder bitmap resource, using the same dimensions and color depth. Save the resources and VC will create a BMP file. You can then overwrite that file with your own BMP file. The next time you open the resource, VC will pick up your new BMP with the correct palette. --Mike-- Mister Sparkle is disrespectful to dirt.
