{
  OpenDialog1->DefaultExt = ".ICO";
  OpenDialog1->Filter = "icons (*.ico)|*.ICO";
  OpenDialog1->Options << ofOverwritePrompt << ofFileMustExist << ofHideReadOnly;
  if (OpenDialog1->Execute())
  {
	std::auto_ptr<TIcon> pi(new Graphics::TIcon);
	String as;
	pi->LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1->FileName);
	as = ChangeFileExt(OpenDialog1->FileName,".BMP");
	Image1->Width = pi->Width;
	Image1->Height = pi->Height;
	Image1->Canvas->Draw(0, 0, pi.get());
	Image1->Picture->SaveToFile(as);
