document type icons import to Visio!
All applications installed on a computer running a Windows Operating system
create a graphical icon which represents the data file types which is created using the respective application, replacing the extension identifications. i.e., Word documents with the extension .doc is graphically displayed with an icon containing the blue W, Excel documents with the extension .xls is represented with an icon containing the green X, files with the extension ..htm and .html are – if one use the Microsoft Internet explorer – represented by an icon containing the blue e and so on and so on! Basically, all document types are per default represented by a graphical icon! I am at the moment – in Visio – creating the user interface for a backup application, where it should be possible to specify which types of documents on a computer one want to make a backup of, and I am there for trying to see if there were a way to import all these icons in to the Visio “shapes” library, but I can simply not find it, perhaps because I do not know what these icons are called or what their extensions are! Do any one out there in the big wide cyberspace know how I import these icons? |

Search for some icon extracting tool. They extract icons from dlls, exes,
like that. I believe there are plenty of freewares, cannot recommend any - I have a program from some Windows developer book's CD.

Well, that solve the first part of my situation, but unfortunately not the
second: How do I import all these icons in to the Visio "shapes" library? "Andra" wrote: Search for some icon extracting tool. They extract icons from dlls, exes, like that.

John Marshall's site (www.mvps.org/visio) has an example of how to create a
stencil using cgm files. I suspect you can adapt it to what you need. Al "Lemming" lars_lemming[at]hotmail.com wrote in message ...
