    <p>You don't say what the purpose of this is, and there are a number of ways of getting icons and one method may be better than another depending on the purpose.</p> <p>However, <strong>to extract any number of "large" (32x32) and/or "small" (16x16) icons* from an arbitrary file</strong>, use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648069.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>ExtractIconEx</code></a> function. This lets you extract one or more icons of either of these two standard sizes from an icon file (.ico), EXE, or DLL. An icon file can contain multiple images and this function will let you get all of them.</p> <p>The function will write to an array of handles, each of which you can assign to the <code>Handle</code> property of a <code>TIcon</code> instance. Then you can use the <a href="http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/VCL/en/Graphics.TIcon" rel="noreferrer"><code>TIcon</code> methods</a> as you normally would if you'd loaded the TIcon any other way. Note that new to Delphi XE is the ability to copy it easily to a bitmap <a href="http://blogs.embarcadero.com/pawelglowacki/2010/05/31/39072" rel="noreferrer">via the Assign method</a>. <a href="http://blogs.embarcadero.com/pawelglowacki/2010/05/31/39072" rel="noreferrer">That article</a> also shows how to <strong>access all of the stock (inbuilt / standard) Windows icons</strong>, if that happens to be what you're after.</p> <p>(Side note: I think the <a href="http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/VCL/en/Graphics.TIcon_Functions" rel="noreferrer"><code>TIcon</code></a> class lets you load from a file via its <code>LoadFromFile</code> method - this seems to be missing from the documentation, but I'm pretty certain it exists. From memory, that only loads a single icon.)</p> <blockquote> <p>(*) Actually, "large" and "small" can be different to 32x32 and 16x16: use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724385.aspx" rel="noreferrer"><code>GetSystemMetrics</code></a> function with the <code>SM_CXICON</code>, <code>SM_CYICON</code>, <code>SM_CXSMICON</code>, and <code>SM_CYSMICON</code> flags to find out the dimensions of each type.</p> </blockquote>

    1. CO@David, thank you! I have TIcon object and I need to extract all images from it. Is there any way to do that without save icon to file via SaveToFile method?

    2. COTIcon will be one icon image. Using `ExtractIconEx` you would create one TIcon per icon image that it extracts. You can then access the image of the icon by `Assign`-ing it to a bitmap. (Did you get an array of handles filled? Try calling `ExtractIconEx` twice, the first time with `nIconIndex` set to -1 and both array parameters `nil`, and it will return the number of icons. Call it again with an array of that size. See the MSDN article for it for more details.)

    3. CO@David, TIcon is one image icon if it is obtained by ExtractIconEx, but what if existing TIcon object has more than one image. If I save TIcon with 4 images to file (oIcon.SaveToFile) and open this file with IconEditor I can see all 4 images and I CAN extract all 4 images with ExtractIconEx. Is it possible to extract all images from TIcon object, not to save TIcon to file and use ExtractIconEx?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
