This only solves the first part of the question - the bit I had working. Its the transferring of the picture to a listimage (or a file) that gives the error.

Thanks... it was the step setting the image property = the picture property that I was missing.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to write a simple routine to extract an icon from a specified file (ActiveX DLL) and add the icon to an imagelist for use in a listview control. I'm using ExtractIcon and DrawIcon APIs to put the icon into a picture box but if I try and save the icon using SavePicture, or use it directly in the Listimages Add method I get &quot;invalid property value&quot; or &quot;invalid picture&quot; respectively. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Extracting program Icons

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
