MsgBox Question Icon File 1

[RileyCat]

Does anybody know the name of or where I can get my hands on the file that contains the "Question" icon image for the MessageBox?

Stay Cool Ya'll!

It is in SHELL32.dll, which you'll typically find in Windows\System32

The old win95 can be found at...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Graphics\Icons\Computer

\Misc


if that is where you installed VB. However, strongm has pointed you to the current location of the current OS's question icon resource of which you are referring to. You can, if you wish, extract the icon with...

Good Luck

If you just want to use/draw that icon in your application than a couple of API functions may help you.
