hIcon remains 0 after the call to ExtractIconEX(). I have tried different files with the same result.

>>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?

>>>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?
