Why do you want to do this? Icons are intellectual property. Unless it's an open source app, you can't just scrape a bunch of icons from existing applications and gather them into a library. It's not legal. Having said that, a few minutes with Google and MSDN would have answered this question. LoadIcon returns an HICON. You can pass that to GetIconInfo to return an ICONINFO structure, which includes the two bitmaps that you need to draw an icon. An icon always includes two bitmaps: one is a monochrome bitmap that digs the hole for the color image, and the other is the color image. Those are HBITMAP handles. You can then use GetBitmapBits to get the actual pixels. It's possible this might be easier in C. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
