Hi!

How can I define the icon for my custom component

Thanks!

Create a bitmap of size 16 × 16 and give it the name of the class ('Class
BlaBla' -> "BlaBla.bmp"). Then you can add the bitmap to the project and
set its build action to embedded resource. Extend your code like this:

\\\
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(BlaBla))>
Public Class BlaBla
.
.
.
End Class
///
