A Few Questions...

[Eric B.]

1) Where the heck are the icons stored in VS? I know there are not a lot,
but I used the "Insert Standard Items" command on the menubar and lo and
behold, icons!

2) How do set a child/parent relationship between two forms? Strangely,
there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this. I have a form StartPosition
set to "CenterParent" but no obvious way to set this up?

3) How do I discover all the goodies hidden away in .dlls? user32.dll I
cannot browse, I hear rumors of icons hidden in shell32.dll...


TIA!

Since you didn't mention a version I'll just have to guess 2005. I have
icons here: x:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary

2) How do set a child/parent relationship between two forms? Strangely,
there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this. I have a form
StartPosition set to "CenterParent" but no obvious way to set this up?

The parent in this case is the form that called the Show[Dialog] method on
the second form.

3) How do I discover all the goodies hidden away in .dlls? user32.dll I
cannot browse, I hear rumors of icons hidden in shell32.dll...

Ever heard of Google? It's a pretty cool site for searching. Let me give you
a hint to get you started: "icon viewer."

1) my system is vista x64 and my vs.net version is 2008

2) try again

Form2 f = new Form2();
f.TopLevel = false;
f.ShowDialog(this); // this will occur an error, please see the description
// you will get your answer


3) i use the Axialis IconWorkshop search and edit the icon files

80 icons in csproj.dll
72 icons in msvbprj.dll
21 icons in VCProject.dll
40 icons in VSTOAddIn2003ClientPkg.dll
41 icons in VSTOAddIn2007ClientPkg.dll
....
