TypeDescription
Icon as Variant A Variant expression that specifies the icon to add or insert, as one of the following options:
  • a long expression that specifies the handle of the icon (HICON)
  • a string expression that indicates the path to the picture file
  • a string expression that defines the picture's content encoded as BASE64 strings using the eXImages tool
  • a Picture reference, which is an object that holds image data. It is often used in controls like PictureBox, Image, or in custom controls (e.g., IPicture, IPictureDisp)

If the Icon parameter is 0, it specifies that the icon at the given Index is removed. Furthermore, setting the Index parameter to -1 removes all icons.

By default, if the Icon parameter is not specified or is missing, a value of 0 is used.

Index as Variant A long expression that defines the index of the icon to insert or remove, as follows:
  • A zero or positive value specifies the index of the icon to insert (when Icon is non-zero) or to remove (when the Icon parameter is zero)
  • A negative value clears all icons when the Icon parameter is zero

By default, if the Index parameter is not specified or is missing, a value of -1 is used.
