Hi,
I am not able to load my 16x16 icon from my res file. I always
get them as 32x32. Here is my code:

  HICON hIcon = LoadImage(HInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_SMALLICON), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR);

I have tried zeros instead of 16 and tried also other flags, but
nothing helps.

I am using BCB6 ent. German, Build 10.166 on Win NT 4.00.1381.

Who can help?
Thanx in advance.
Thorsten.

Yes, the description for the LR_DEFAULTSIZE is self contradictory.
Don't know _the_ answer, but you could probably work around this by
getting the actual size that MS loaded, create a new DC with 16x16 and
stretch (shrink) the icon back.  Course, you could also get around it
by using BMPs instead of ICONs.
