Chris S. Chris S. MM club member Registered: 2002-03-18 Posts: 2368 Loc: Earth	Can KiXforms support multi-image icons? I have a custom multi-image icon that I built, but I can't seem to get KiXforms to display anything other than the first indexed icon. Example... code: $frmMain.Icon = "@SCRIPTDIR\kixftp_icons.ico;0" ...works, but... code: $frmMain.Icon = "@SCRIPTDIR\kixftp_icons.ico;1" ...displays the same icon as index 0. [ 24.

A normal .ico is expected to be a single icon. .DLL, .EXE, .NIL etc are often expeted to be a library resource of icons. Maybe try renaming it to .dll and retesting. This works for me. $frmMain.Icon = "%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll;24"

The details of the message is: 'The application or DLL kixftp_icons.dll is not a valid Windows image.' The app I'm using has the ability to save the icon library as a DLL, but I get the same error with it. Other applications like IconXtractor are able to read the multi-image icons. It isn't a big deal. I can make it an image strip, but then I'm having problems with the 'transparent' color. Being able to access multi-image icons would allow me to use many customized images without cluttering up the folder. It is also slightly smaller in size.

I found that you can create a .icl file from Microangelo 5.5. If you ten rename the file with the extension of .exe the icons can be retrieved using: $ObjName.Icon="$Location\icnlib.exe;7" Note: I could not get this going by renaming as a .dll file but have to admit not much effort was put into this.
