Frank,

>No we are not that far yet. currently we get Icons only. I am just trying to push her into it ;-) No, actually it would be my task to implement an IconObject2BMP-Method there. But like her, I have some *real* tasks to do. Maybe I find an easy solution.

I've enjoyed this thread and learned alot. I bet there is a gdiplus api for converting icons to bmps? Or maybe Anatoliy has a trick for this at www.news2news.com?

Thanks for sharing your conversation with the rest of us.
