Saving icons in .ico files (updated to include cursors)

[Mr Coder]

Thanks srod, works without the Purifier spitting the dummy now.

Glad it worked out.

It was a bit 'slack' of me not to fix the bug earlier since I'd known about it for several months now.

Hi,

assuming you mean multiple icons as opposed to icons saved in the latest format, then my code will not do that as it stands. However, I seem to recall that Netmaestro posted some code somewhere which will do this. I cannot remember if he based his code on my routine or he started from scratch?

Worth a search through these forums.

As far as I understand it's pretty easy:
- In line 83 you already commented "WriteWord(file,1) ;***CHANGE IF EXTENDING CODE TO MORE THAN ONE ICON***", so this should be changed to the number of to be included icons
- Then simply write the following ICONDIRENTRY, BITMAPINFOHEADER and the data for each icon.

... I didn't test it but it should work.

Yes shouldn't be difficult to alter, but I am pretty sure that Netty has already done the job!

TODO (maybe!)
; -Extend the code to save multiple icons/cursors in the same .ico file.
