Graphics from FRX
Basically, when you add an icon or image control to a form in VB6, the images are stored in an FRX file by default. The FRX file has the same name as the form, and is essentially a binary resource file.
If, as happened to me last night, you cannot find the original graphics file (because the developer didn't check it into source control), you can use this utility to extract the graphic from the FRX file and save it to disk as a stand-alone file.
This saved my bacon when I had to add a new form to the project but had NO CLUE where the original graphic file was. |
