It seems that the OleCreatePictureIndirect(@PictDesc, @iid, 1, @IPic) which I assume will populate the IPic reference variable is null after the call. The PictDesc variable seems to contain a few high ascii characters. If I can't get the icon into a treeview control via the imagelist, is there an easy way to simply draw the icon elsewhere, like in a picture control?

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?
