Well, =MESSAGEBOX(PEMSTATUS(toIconLarge,'Handle',5)) returns .f. in the method GETASSOCICONPAIROBJECTS. So, this property doesn't exist.

Also do you remember you suggested to keep track of known types and their icons/bmps, so we would not execute the same code more than needed? Of course, we can handle this issue outside of the class, but may as well build this functionality in. I did it in the copy I sent you a while ago. Now I would have to merge the changes together...

Thanks a lot again for finishing with the code. Tomorrow I see, how can I use your code with collection, etc.
