How to get Icons in our custom applications
-
Hey Friends I often face this issue hence want a suggestion on the same. I create an application & now i wish to add some icons for Menu , Toolbar , Application Icon etc. Now which images / icons i can use. I am a programmer but not a designer & hence do not want to create images, but use them. Do i have to buy them or is there any other way? Regards

You can buy them, download free ones, or create your own. The Platform SDK (or maybe it's Visual Studio) used to come with a bunch of graphics. I haven't found them in more recent versions but I have an old copy of them I keep around :) There's not IMO alot of useful ones but all the old standard Office toolbar bitmaps are in there. You can also rip them right out of EXE and DLL files. Copyright issues apply... You can rip them and modify them if you see something you like. Mark

VS2005 installs a .zip file full of them
