  I'm no expert but I do get ideas.  Try placing the Icon in a 
window that is off screen and make sure the Icon is set visible
and the offscreen window has been repainted after setting the Icon
visible(might not be required). Next use bitBlt to copy the Icon to
pixmap or where ever you want. I am assuming that a Icon can be placed 
in a window without complaint.  I have very little windows
programming experience, but that's what I would try. Since the window
is off screen windows may just ignore your commands and not make the 
changes, I'm not sure.  If it does ignore it maybe you can open the 
window and make it visible do what you got to do then close it.
There's probably a better way, there's always another way if you
have the time to find it.
