How to convert HICON to HBITMAP in VC++?

Answer 1

HDC hDC = GetDC(NULL);
HDC hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hDC);
HBITMAP hMemBmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hDC, x, y);
HBITMAP hResultBmp = NULL;
HGDIOBJ hOrgBMP = SelectObject(hMemDC, hMemBmp);

DrawIconEx(hMemDC, 0, 0, hIcon, x, y, 0, NULL, DI_NORMAL);

hResultBmp = hMemBmp;
hMemBmp = NULL;

SelectObject(hMemDC, hOrgBMP);
DeleteDC(hMemDC);
ReleaseDC(NULL, hDC);
DestroyIcon(hIcon);
return hResultBmp;
