icon error after upgrading from VFP7 to 8

[Gerrit Broekhuis]

Hi,

In VFP7 I added icons to my forms 16x16, created by microangelo. This worked fine.

Now with VG\FP8 SP1 installed I get the message "Icon is corrupt or in wrong format". What has changed from 7 to 8? What should I change in the icons I made?

Regards,

Gerrit

Gerrit,
All things graphic changed between 7 and 8 - think GDI+.
In my VFP 8.0 apps, I include at least these images sizes:
16x16x16
32x32x16
48x48x16
64x64x16

If your image looks better in 256 colors you can add those also. It all depends on the video resolution and color depth and where the icon is being viewed. Explorer (it's mode - details, icons, tiles), the Start Menu, shortcuts and the task bar all can use different images. (If you are missing what the OS wants, you'll sometimes get the "Fox Head"!)

P.S. I use MicroAngelo too - 5.59c!
