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

Hi,

What icon extension are you using ?

If you're having problems with ".ICO" extension, try changing it to ".ICON",
or the contrary.

That worked for me in a specific case sometime ago...

Hope this helps

Heheh: Most likely.
It's funny - you'd think a NEWER version would be BETTER about accepting a
wide array of different formats.

Ahh well, as long as I got it to work (which I did. Thanks, everyone) I'm
happy.

I liked having a large format icon so that it looked good in Windows'
thumbnail-icon views but it's not mandatory.

Cheers!

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.

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.
