Njet!

And I don't think there is anything that could be found. I can tell You in short what happens:

I query two Icons (large and Small). Then I try do do something with their handle, but a command like

? loLarge.Handle

causes the error "Unknown name". However in the debugger, pointing the mouse over it, properly shows the handle.

OK. Could be anything wrong, handle destroyed or something like that (I checked it does not get destroyed).

But now I did one thing

in a new PRG I created a class

define class ABC as custom
   
    PROCEDURE GetHandle(toPicture as Object) as integer
        return toPicture.Handle
    ENDPROC

enddefine

Not really much logic in there. More a waste of time and resources BUT

if I do

oX = newObject("ABC", "DEF.PRG")
? oX.GetHandle( loLarge )

? loLarge.Handle

The first one works, the second causes an error
