>>>Nice tool. Do you have any plan to add support to 256 color icons. Now that VFP 8 supports it, that's what made me go to think about the icons again.

>>Not until at lease after the release of VFP 8. Then they'll be some necessary research. I imagine, however, that the 256 color icons with follow the same structure that the 16 color ones do.

>>You may note the presence of a method named FixSmallIcon. Whether or not it'll be necessary to use this function isn't known. Currently, on all platforms up to W2K, there's a bug in the underlying API call (that the SAVEPICTURE() function calls) which causes the insertion of 128 bytes in the file. (Note to all: This is most decidedly not a VFP bug, but in the underlying API function.) Whether or not the same behavior exists with 256 color icons when shrunk or if it happens under WinXP, I have to find out.

>>Once I get a feel for what's going on with 256 color icons, I'll probably add that capability to my Icon Extractor (IconX).

>Thanks a lot,

You're welcome, and please feel free to pass along anything you find out. Even some that may seem minor (size of the file. Consist for the same size icon, for example).
