From: Helmut Giese on 22 Oct 2009 06:49 Hello out there, in an article about a toolbox http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/toolbox.aspx I found the sentence I copied the icons and tabs from the real ToolBox ... and in the project's resource file there is an ImageList which presumably contains them. How can this be done? Thanks and best regards Helmut Giese

In VS 2005, there is a folder called "x:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary" which contains a Zip file with a ton of graphics, some icons, some bitmaps. For 2008, it's "x:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\<your locale>".

These folders do not contain Visual Studio-specific icons, rather they contain Windows-specific icons. -Scott
