Nice improvements!
Do you know why the Vista shell32.dll icon numbers are so weird? After Icon #338 the next one is #512, followed by #1001..1011, then #8240, and #16710..16783. |

It is ditto in XP!
Those are Ordinal numbers, almost similar to A_Index
The numbers between 338 and 512 would probably been used by other types of resources in the same DLL
For example :
For a project: I collect my different type of resources like Bitmaps, Jpeg and Icons and place them in folder and loop them.
A_LoopFileName would give me them in the order they were added.
I would ascertain the data type by the file extension, and pass A_Index+100 as Ordinal number
like.. .
ICO will be added as RT_GROUP_ICON
BMP will be added as RT_BITMAP
JPG will be added as RT_RCDATA
When I open the resource file with ResHacker,
it shows me the resources arranged according to data type,
and my A_Index+100 numbers gets jumbled across various data types
In XP - shell32.dll, the last ordinal for Group Icon is 16721.
As you say, for Vista it is 16783, they have been added later.

Thanks heresy.

I find that with some DLLs, IconEx acts strange.. though nothing is wrong with my code. I have learn more to handle these exceptions.
Please do report any glitches in the GUI interface.. I have applied lots of hellish workarounds.

i think there's a little mistake.
FileSelectFolder dialog doesn't submit the selected path
and it's not that important but i just curious that why it doesn't support ICL (icon library)?

Corrected!
Line #320 : ControlSetText,,%tFolder%, ahk_id %hSHAC%
should have been
ControlSetText,,%nFolder%, ahk_id %hSHAC%
Thanks for reporting it.

ICL file is not a PE file .. it is a 16bit NE file, means all the goody API functions available in >= W2K will not work with it.
You do not need ICL unless you use Windows 98 SE
DLL is the way to go and I am already working on script that will create a Resource-only-DLL when provided with a folder full of the extracted ICONS.

How to include an Icon in your script ?
The following template script demonstrates the loading of an icon included in the script itself and sets the
Tray Icon

NumPut( 1028,NID,8 ), NumPut( 2,NID,12 ), NumPut( hIcon,NID,20 )
Menu, Tray, Icon ; Shows the default Tray icon
DllCall( "shell32\Shell_NotifyIcon", UInt,0x1, UInt,&NID ) ; and we immediately modify it.
Gui, Show, w640 h480
Return
GuiClose:
ExitApp |
About the hex data:
With IconEx, extract any interesting 16x16-4bit icon
Convert binary to hex
Chop of the the first 44 hex characters ( 22 bytes )
Replace the hex data in template with it.
If you are less bothered about the extra 22 bytes an icon carries,
use the whole of the hex data and add an offset of 22 to &IconData as follows:
| Code: | hICon := DllCall( "CreateIconFromResourceEx", UInt,&IconData+22
, UInt,0, Int,1, UInt,196608, Int,16, Int,16, UInt,0 ) |
About Alt-Tab icon
Alt-Tab menu requires a 32x32 sized icon. so you may have repeat the procedure to load create and load it. The icon used in the template was created by me .. and I have designed it in such a way that it does not show artifacts when resized to 32x32.
If somebody wants .. I can write a IcoToHex converter script!
On a related note,
My script posted in the following topic demonstrates Animation of Tray Icon :
I converted four 16x16x4b icons to hex, chopped off the first 44 chars, made them into a single string, and refer the individual Icondata with an offset of 296.
Edit:NumPut( hIcon,NID,20 ) was missing in the code, now added. Sorry ofr the inconvenience

| The above script changes the Alt-TAB icon, the taskbar icon and the title bar icon to "i", but leaves the tray icon blank. Is it a Vista problem? |

Not a problem really.. I think Vista requires a minimum of 256 colors for a tray icon whereas I have used a 16 color icon - to contain script size.
I will try in Vista and post again.
Edit: Seems to be a different problem.. I tried 4bit, 8bit and 32bit .. nothing works  |

| Maybe an appropriate call to Shell_NotifyIcon with NIM_SETVERSION (0x00000004) helps? |

NumPut( hIcon,NID,20 ) was missing in the code, now added. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I posted tested code from PSPad and it was a matter of ^a ^c and ^v .
I would understand if I had missed the starting or ending line, but this, I keep guessing.
Also I tested my other HDD indicator, and it works fine in Vista.
