Hi Folks, If you are a Visual Basic programmer, I am almost sure that you are fond of icons. If you are tired of using those old icons, this application (with complete source code) is for you. It is a complete Icon Search application, which allows you to extract icons from executables and Icon libraries.
The story behind this application is interesting. One of the icon designers in my project team (I am presently working as the software manager of Time Technologies,Kerala,India) told me that it will be very helpfull if she can get an application for extracting already existing icons. She can then simply modify it or reuse it, instead of creating all icons from scratch. That is why I took few hours for writing this application.
Hey, one last thing to remember you. Kindly vote for me if this application can satisfy your ever increasing thirst for icons.
Also, I am looking for established US companies to invest in the technologies I developed, including the latest Streaming Audio Technology. If you are a US based developer, kindly visit http://www.geocities.com/streamingaudio if u have enough time, and let me know more about the investors and venture capitalists in US. Regards;
Anoop, anoopj12@angelfire.com, http://www.geocities.com/streamingaudio

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the tremendous and astonishing response to Icon Hunter. I would like to clear a point here. Icon Hunter can extract icons from Icon Libraries (*.icl) and Icon Gallery Files (*.igf) too. I will soon post one or two zips with tons of icons as icon gallery files. Try making a search for 'Icon Hunter' now, to get the complete list of Icon Hunter series. Regards, Anoop M,anoopj12@angelfire.com

When I double click or select the icon and choose enhanced view I get an error
Run time error 5 invalid procedure call and the debugger goes to the
img.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight - sbMain.Height
line. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Paul,
If anyone gets the error,
Just modify the form_resize event for frmBit as shown.
Private Sub Form_Resize()
on error resume next
img.Move 0, 0, Me.ScaleWidth, Me.ScaleHeight - sbMain.Height
Me.Caption = "Enhanced View - [Height=" & img.Height & ", Width=" & img.Width & "]"
End Sub

Suggestion:
Replace text.box where u have *.exe
with combo box (give it the same name
as current textbox)
having in list property:
*.exe,*.dll,*.scr and
*.exe;*.dll;*.scr
I did that , its great.

For some reason the scaleheight property of frmbit gets wiped out sometimes in the form_resize event, causing the previously mentioned runtime error. To avoid this, declare integer variables in the declaration section of frmbit, one each for scaleheight and scalewidth i.e., iScaleHeight and iScaleWidhth. In Form_Load add this code:

Sorry! Fix got truncated. Add "iScaleHeight = Me.ScaleHeight" and "iScaleWidth = Me.ScaleWidth. In Form_Resize replace existing code with "img.Move 0, 0, iScaleWidth, iScaleHeight - sbMain.Height"
Good Luck

Suggestions:
You gotta clear the memory after writing each icon into the list. This way you won't use up too much mem. This is over come by storing the icons in some place, (Picture box etc...)

Runs in IDE.
Compile and copy to a different folder and it fails on startup with:
---------------------------
ExtractIcon
---------------------------Run-time error '53':
File not found
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The .exe only runs in the compiled to folder.
