Button images location

[Jef_E]

Hi!

I'm creating an AddIn that works with parameters, and I would like to know where I can find the location of the images displayed on the buttons, so I can use these in my AddIn.

This would be very usefull because the user will associate with the image rather than be confused by using a new image.

Hi, do you mean Thumbnail images? There's a blog about it on ModTheMachine:

Accessing Thumbnail Images

You have to scroll down a little, as the first code is VBA.

No I mean this icons used for the ribbon buttons.

Hi, they're probably embed in the libraries, so you can't reach them.

But what you can do is take a screenshot of them and place it in new BMP file.

If I knew what librairy has them embed in them I could extract them. Screenshot is not 100% what I want to use but at the moment the best option.
