LoadPicture gets wrong icon count from dll Topic is solved

[SKAN]

Until (or if at all) the glitch is fixed, the following one-liner can be used to get icon count from PE files. (for. ico count will always be 1)

Code: Select all

IconCount := DllCall( "Shell32\ExtractIcon", "Ptr",0, "Str","broken.dll", "Int",-1 )

Thanks, SKAN, that works like a charm.
Now, what do I do for .icl files?

ICL files are NE files. They are 16-bit and last I used them was in Win'98.
If you want to support them, you have to retrieve the raw ICON Data by directly reading from it... Wouldn't be worth the trouble, I'd say.

BTW, ExtractIcon() recognizes .BMP file as an ICON. Also, LoadPicture() is able to load a BMP as HICON when VType parameter is used.

I may be wrong since I haven't done more than skimmed over the thread, but I think I fixed it back in July. I just haven't been interested enough to release an update. (Just a little longer.)

Fixed in v1.1.27.00.
