ToolboxBitmap

[JoJo]

Every time I build a .bmp picture using MSPaint and add for a UserControl's
ToolboxBitmap property in VB. The image always looks different and never
have the same detail. Why is that and what size should the .bmp's be?

Oops, It just happens that the one control I chose was wrong ) I checked some others and they were OK.

From MSDN

The size of the space for the bitmap in the toolbox is 16x15 pixels; the bitmap specified by this property will be scaled to these
dimensions if necessary.
