ICON Image from ImageList Image 1

[HRoarke]

Ok, here's one from the "Pretty Basic Questions" category:

VB.NET:

I have an ImageList with N images (of appropriate size, e.g. 16x16 or 32x32). I create an Icon variable, e.g.

private icoMyIcon as Icon

I want to assign an image from the ImageList to the new Icon using the ICON constructor, e.g.

icoMyIcon = New Icon ([various overloaded input params])

HOWEVER - the ICON constructor doesn't take an Image as an argument, and I can't find a way to get a DataStream (accepted by the overloaded ICON constructor) from the ImageList. There's gotta be a way.... a star to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

I ran into this same problem a while ago, here's my solution:

Dim ico As Icon = Icon.FromHandle(CType(ImageList.Images(0), Bitmap).GetHicon())
