Frank,

I'll answer here, if you don't mind.

SavePicture method sort of worked. E.g. it did create a file. However, this is not a true icon format. E.g. other icon files show its content in Windows Explorer, but this one showed the unknown type kind of icon in Windows Explorer. In my grid the saved file icon was shown, but it was not a good small icon, it looks like a big icon...

So either I intended to implement it or I did, it crashed and I had do remove it...... I think I was able employ a native VFP function for it ........... yes, I think the idea was to use the SavePicture(, ) funktion that creates a bitmap. Either it did not work with the Icon-Object-Reference or I thought I could skip it in the class as it could be used directly.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
