Anthony,

AFAIK, the only way to display an icon reference is to call the DrawIcon()function. I wrote an article in the Aug., 1998 issue of FoxPro Advisor that demonstrates how to do this. Further, there's a dialog (FileExists) in my Obj2Bmp application that uses LoadIcon() as a source of the icon handle. The technique for displaying it is the same as using ExtractIcon() or ExtractAssocatedIcon() as the source. You can download Obj2Bmp from the files section here at the UT under Win32 and other APIs.
