I'm having some of my own troubles here as well. I can and have been able to use Alexander's code to create icon files from the handle. However, I've been playing around with populating a ImageList, which seems to work fine. The problem is in associating the ImageList with a ListView. Don't know whether or not it's me or something to do with the nature of the image created. Is this where you're having problems too?
