Query: "Why Visual Basic does not accept icon?"

Solution: In Visual Basic you can use almost all icon-formats for Windows XP, but it can't take one, TrueColor + Alpha (32 bits). It takes TrueColor (24 bits). It can not take Windows Vista (packed) icons.
At this website, you can download code for using TrueColor + Alpha (32 bits)-icons:
