Hello All,
I need to fill my menu and related tool bar with some images. I'd like to use icons similar to those present in CVI tool bar environment.
Do you know if there is a directory in CVI tree where to find CVI icons?
Anybody can send me URLs for free downloading of general purpose icons?
Thank you very much
Sergio

Hi, Sergio,
I don't think that icons from CVI's toolbar can be extracted by other way as just PrintScreen...
Anyway, you can use icon's exctractors, like IconsExtract or @icon sushi or IcoFx. IcoFx is nice icon editor as well.
But remember, that some images may be copyrighted, so, you are not able to extract or copy them for using in your application.
First take a look here: National Instruments icon library
Then you can use some portals for icon search:
Or download some free icons sets for free:
Fugue and Diagona Icons (pinvoke)
Circular Icons (Ben Gillbanks)Crystal Clear icon set (Everaldo Coelho)
24 free PSD sets (Ganato design)
GNOME 2.18 Professional Scalable Vector IconsKnob Buttons Toolbar icons by ~iTweek
But remember about copyrights and read licenses before (most of icons above available for free under Creative Commons Attribution license)!
In additional, I will not recommend to mix different icons, but take some time (and, probably money) for developing your own design...

best regards,
Andrey.

Super old thread, but this is info could be valuable to others. I use a free application called IconsExtract. It can extract icons from EXE and DLL files too!
