Overriding and Restoring Icon Data

You may wish to redraw icons on a temporary basis without going to the trouble of obtaining a new IconRef . One example of this is when a user has started to download a file and you want to use partial file icons to represent the various stages of the download process. Icon Services provides two functions to temporarily override the data in an IconRef ; the one you choose depends on the source of the data you will use for the override. If you obtain the source data from another IconRef , use the function OverrideIconRef. If the source data is contained in a resource, use the function OverrideIconRefFromResource. You can restore the original icon data by using the function RemoveIconOverride.
