Re: Icons in Windows 7

Hi Fer,

Thanks for this info!

As I wrote, I knew from the rebar icons problem when Vista
first came out and fixed that. But I didn't know from the icl's.

In the new version of my app, I added another menu system that
loads a icl library. Works fine in W2K and XP as you can guess.

Then it was reported that it didn't launch in Win7 x64 while
the previous version did.

But as you wrote; Gui4Cli crashes when trying to load a icl,
it's quite obvious that there lies the problem.

In the mean time, I made a gif bar of the icons. I suppose that
should solve the problem?

Thanks again,

Chris
