That's a good idea.
How do I get at the BITMAP stucture, starting from an HICON ? I saw GetIconInfo(), GetBitmapBits(), but the latter function doesn't seem to tell you how much memory to allocate - so I can't see how I can use it !
Presumably it is simple to create the mask BITMAP from the color BITMAP?
cheers,
Neil

Try to use FindResource, LoadResource, SizeofResource (size in bytes) and LockResource (get the pointer to the first byte).
Probably you'll have to work with #pragma pack(1), but I'm not sure.
Anyway, SizeofResource+LockResource will get you a pointer to a byte array and its size; you can simply get the byte array and store in a blob (perhaps also size should be stored as well).
HRSRC hrcIcon = FindResource(hExeOrDll, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_YOURICON), RT_ICON);
HGLOBAL hgl = LoadResource(hExeOrDll, hrcIcon);
LPVOID pvIcon = LockResource(hgl);
DWORD dwSizeInBytes = SizeofResource(hExeOrDll, hrcIcon);
#pragma pack(push, 1)
BYTE *pbIcon = (BYTE *)malloc(dwSizeInBytes * sizeof(BYTE));
CopyMemory((PVOID)pbIcon, pvIcon, dwSizeInBytes);
#pragma pack(pop)
free(pbIcon);

Thanks for the post.
Does this work if the ICON is loaded in externally (e.g. from a .ico file) so is not a hardcoded resource in the application ?
(I am using ExtractIcon() to create my icon from a file).
cheers,
Neil

Probably yes, but I am not sure.
Try using LoadImage instead of LoadIcon and pass the filename instead of MAKEINTRESOURCE, and use the returned HANDLE as HRSRC, but, again I'm not sure.
But why not opening the .ico file with CreatFile directly, and store the file bytes directly?

Thanks again. Yes, I could use the .ico file as a "serialization".
I can load an icon from a .ico file with
ExtractIcon(), but there doesn't seem to be a reverse-function - to create the .ico file from an HICON.... do you know of a function to do this?
cheers,
Neil

Probably CreateIcon, CreateIconFromResource and CreateIconFromResourceEx will help you. Bytes will come yet again from LoadResource.
Also, CreateIconIndirect + ICONINFO could help if you have a bitmap instead.

Hi,
Does there any API exists for finding SQL Server installation path.
Warm Regards,

Hi
I am not sure whether an API exists to get the SQL Server installation path, but frm my understanding any software installed on the PC has its entry into the registry. So, inside the registry under HKLM\Softwares\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server u can check for the appropriate key which contains the path where SQL server has been installed.
I hope, this piece of info is of some use to u.
Thanx

Might want to check with your network folks about this. Many network admins turn this feature off with a global policy. While a handy feature it is ripe for abuse. 
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Hi,
Can someone tell me the easiest way to pass a set of valued (ints, doubles) to and from a method in a class. IN my class there are two STL lists of double and COLORREF.
I'm using methods like GetColors() and GetValues() passing the list name as a return value doesn't look good. What's the most correct method???

Pass the collection by reference.
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

do you need all values at same time ! it would be better design if you encapsulated the list in that class and return only double and COLORREF from the given class
