问题


How do I create an icon file that contains multiple sizes?

I know that I create a icon from a bitmap using Icon.FromHandle() but how do I add another image / size to that icon?

Edit: I need to do this in my application, so I cannot execute an external application to do the combining.


回答1:


Quick CYA: I just did a Google search, and have not tested the method below. YMMV.

I found this article, which mentions a class that does this (albeit in VB.Net, but easy enough to translate), and tells how he used it. While the page that the thread points to no longer appears to have the source code mentioned, I did find a version of it here.

I was looking for a way to combine .png files, nothing fancy, into an icon. I created the below code after not being able to find something simple and with this question being the top search result.


The following code can create an icon with multiple sizes if, for each of the images, the Image.RawFormat is ImageFormat.Png, the Image.PixelFormat is PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb and the dimensions are less than or equal to 256x256:

/// <summary>
/// Provides methods for creating icons.
/// </summary>
public class IconFactory
{

    #region constants

    /// <summary>
    /// Represents the max allowed width of an icon.
    /// </summary>
    public const int MaxIconWidth = 256;

    /// <summary>
    /// Represents the max allowed height of an icon.
    /// </summary>
    public const int MaxIconHeight = 256;

    private const ushort HeaderReserved = 0;
    private const ushort HeaderIconType = 1;
    private const byte HeaderLength = 6;

    private const byte EntryReserved = 0;
    private const byte EntryLength = 16;

    private const byte PngColorsInPalette = 0;
    private const ushort PngColorPlanes = 1;

Usage:

using (var png16 = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\Test\3dGlasses16.png"))
using (var png32 = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(@"C:\Test\3dGlasses32.png"))
using (var stream = new FileStream(@"C:\Test\Combined.ico", FileMode.Create))
{
    IconFactory.SavePngsAsIcon(new[] { png16, png32 }, stream);
}

This can be done with IconLib. You can get the source from the CodeProject article or you can get a compiled dll from my GitHub mirror.

public void Convert(string pngPath, string icoPath)
{
    MultiIcon mIcon = new MultiIcon();
    mIcon.Add("Untitled").CreateFrom(pngPath, IconOutputFormat.FromWin95);
    mIcon.SelectedIndex = 0;
    mIcon.Save(icoPath, MultiIconFormat.ICO);
}

CreateFrom can take either the path to a 256x256 png or a System.Drawing.Bitmap object.




回答4:


You can't create an icon using the System.Drawing APIs. They were built for accessing specific icons from within an icon file, but not for writing back multiple icons to an .ico file.

If you are just wanting to make icons, you could use GIMP or another image processing program to create your .ico files. Otherwise if you really need to make the .ico files programatically, you could use png2ico (invoking using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start) or something similar.




回答5:


Use IcoFX: http://icofx.ro/

It can create Windows icons and store multiple sizes and colors in 1 ico file
