Button Icons and MSG Box Icons

[Mclaren]

is there a way to change the icon a button may have to my own custom ones, same for message boxes ?

Yes. Go to the buttons properties and on the format tab theres an option for picture. You can navigate to the image you want to use in the button.

You can also change the picture based on anu event for example:

here the code attached to the AfterUpdate of Combo2 will change the picture of the Command button according to the value of the Combobox.

if Me.Combo2=1 then
Me.Command2.Picture = "C:\Documents and Settings\Siddharth.SIDHARTH\My Documents\Downloads\Icons\Icons\(.ipr).ico"
else
Me.Command2.Picture = "C:\Documents and Settings\Siddharth.SIDHARTH\My Documents\Downloads\Icons\Icons\(.MAPIMail).ico"
end if

you can use only Bitmap image and Icon files as pictures

Maximus,

Are you developing in 2010? I got the pre-release version a few months back. My users kept having compatibility issues with the references, so I just switched back to 2007. I figure I'll wait until everyone gets up to speed on it. Have you ran into any of that?

Yes I have switched to 2007 myself.

I am running 2007 and 2003. Primarly i want this for 2003, i hate the old style images.

Can i change the images used in mesage boxes, i.e the exclamation sign etc ?

also is it possible to hide icons in say a "DLL" file and have access reference them ?
