I have a large grahic image (.jpg) that I want to turn into an icon file to
be used in my treeview control. What is the best way to do that ??
 
There are probably many graphics programs that can do this. I find
www.SnagIt.com the best graphics tool around for lots of screen captures,
file conversions, image markups, etc. SnagIt is very affordable.
 
There are lots of 3rd party products out there that can do it.

One free one that will let you convert from jpg to ico is Irfanview at
http://www.irfanview.com/ although I'm not sure whether or not you'll be
able to touch up the icon if the conversion isn't exactly to your liking.

An icon-specific tool I've heard a lot about is Microangelo, at
http://www.microangelo.us/

I use Imagicon from http://www.deviouscodeworks.co.uk/
It's very simple and easy to use and supports transparency which some
programs do not.
You create the image in any image editor and drag'n'drop the file to
Imagicon and the icon file is created.
