    Does anyone know where to download Windows XP common icons, such as cut, copy, delete, etc. Microsoft stated in the Window XP Design Guidelines that they would provide them in the future, that was 2001. I have already tried using a icon extracter, however the common icons aren't stored as resource icons.

      I just did a qick search of the www and found "http://www.xp-icons.com/". I do not know if this help you. I used google: "Windows XP icons". Of cource you already tried that, blast it. Microsoft is a confussing critter, at times they try to give you what you need (some what ofuscated), while at other times they seem to try and hide it. INTP

        Because most of these "icons" aren't really icons; they are contained within a bitmap resource that is used in a masked image list. If you open shell32.doo or shdocvw.dll, you'll see several bitmap resources of various sizes and resolutions. You can either keep these as a bitmap and specify the size of a single image and the transparency color in your ImageList, then use ImageList.Images.AddStrip which will create individual images from the bitmap resource. You can also do this yourself by opening the bitmap in a decent image editor, splitting the images, and masking the color yourself (or still use the transparency color in the ImageList).
