This tool will let you include icons inside your exes, and use them with any gadget that support images. it was not possible since now.
the program will create a resource file from an .ico file, then you can use includebinary with the res file and 2 api calls to get the icon handle.
see the readme and example.pb.
it's done in PB, using a dialog (10kb uncompressed).
right click and save or paste the link into a download manager:

I realized that only one api call is needed to get icon handle, in the example.pb:
hicon=CreateIconFromResource_(?icon,resfilesize,#true,196608) ;don't touch the last parameter
i'll update it later, maybe with cursors support.

Thank you very much.
Something I was missing.
I used this very often with RapidQ :
 $RESOURCE ICON AS "Icon.ico"
 Object.IcoHandle = ICON

If Catchimage will support icons is good, but it's a big lib, i like small exes. if i had to use Catchimage only for icons i would choose my method.

The parameter description for this number is
DWORD dwVer and after some checking I found
that the required constant is #VOS_OS232. So if you prefer to use constants in API calls,
then this is the one to use!

Yes, its a big lib and i am a verrrry big fan of small executeables too! So i would be really like to see that Fred will add an info to the pure docs or mark the docs with a special symbol i.e. if the actual lib is complete splitted or not... On this way every user here know if he can use the one or other pure command without to link a full not splitted lib... Sorry for my bad explaining here, but hope you understand what i mean... I would like to see ALL (!) libs splitted and mark this in the docs with a special symbol i.e. - what do you think about this?
I want this since very looooooooong time. greetz

All the libs will be splitted and the image on is actually is. In fact, 80% of the libs are splitted and the last one will follow soon.
