Re: "Icon is corrupt or in the wrong format"

I'm surprised older versions accepted those formats. VFP has always been
rather finnicky about image files in general, and icons in particular.

I *suspect* the reason they fail now is the switch from GDI to GDI+. Instead
of using internal routines for handling images, VFP now relies on GDI+. Why
it would object *now* is anyone's guess, but perhaps it's validating what it
hands off to the GDI+ library?

That's odd. I've been able to use 32x32, 64x64, and 128x128 icons with 256
colors in vfp5, vfp6, and vfp7. It's only since switching to 9 that I've
had the problem. I'll try jacking it down to 32, and see what happens.

I'll keep you posted.

@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl:

For VFP9, I'm not sure what the limitations are, but the size has always
been limited to 32x32. I think you can now use the 256 color icons, but
earlier versions were limited to that size with 16 colors.
