Display the predefined system icons in C#

The SystemIcons class provides static properties that return predefined standard icons. This example's Paint event handler calls subroutine DrawIconSample for each defined SystemIcons value. DrawIconSample draws an icon and then displays the icon's name.

// Draw samples.
private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
int y = 10;
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Application, "Application");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Asterisk, "Asterisk");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Error, "Error");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Exclamation, "Exclamation");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Hand, "Hand");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Information, "Information");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Question, "Question");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.Warning, "Warning");
DrawIconSample(e.Graphics, ref y, SystemIcons.WinLogo, "WinLogo");

this.ClientSize = new Size(this.ClientSize.Width, y);
}

// Draw a sample and its name.
private void DrawIconSample(Graphics gr, ref int y, Icon ico, string ico_name)
{
gr.DrawIconUnstretched(ico, new Rectangle(10, y, ico.Width, ico.Height));
int text_y = y + (int)(ico.Height - gr.MeasureString(ico_name, this.Font).Height) / 2;
gr.DrawString(ico_name, this.Font, Brushes.Black, ico.Width + 20, text_y);
y += ico.Height + 5;
}
