InitializeComponent();
ico = this.Icon;
}
private void btnGetIcon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(dlgOpen.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
ico = Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(dlgOpen.FileName);
this.Icon = ico;
pnlIcon.Invalidate();
}
}
private void pnlIcon_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawIcon(ico, pnlIcon.ClientRectangle);
}
