Getting Program Icon from exe

[MichaelaLee]

Hi Everyone,
I would like to know how to get the Program Icon from an exe. My manager asked me to build a little app that will launch other apps like Notepad along with other apps. What I want to do is assign the program Icon to the Picture property of a command button. Thanks for any info that you can provide.

Make sure to sets the command buttons style to graphical or it will not work. Here is how you would call the function:

Command1.Picture = GetIconFromFile("C:\SCF Counts.exe", 0, True)
