Good to hear that this works as bad as it does here.

No, the workaround does not provide a clue
GetAssocIconPairObjects() first gets the handles to the icons and internally calls IconHandle2Object() witch returns the Icon-Object.

What I do is, add the handles to local properties when I first get them.


Even in this method I get the error when I query oIcon.Handle

I can write

? lhIconLarge
? loIconLarge.Handle

and set a breakpoint there.

In the Debugger, both show the same value (one with decimals, one without, but they are ".00"). And in the watch window loIconLarge.Handle properly evaluates. But when I run over it I get the error.

It seems as if from the running program the TypeLibrary is not accessable. Maybe timing problems.

I'll keep You informed
