Ray,

The Win32Lib demo "FlatToolBar.exw" extracts icons, & puts them on buttons,
with text also on the buttons, although it doesn't appear to use
"extractIcon" to get the icon from an exe, but rather, as far as I can
understand, it uses "iExw = w32Func(xLoadIcon,{instance(), "exw"} )".  But
from Win32Lib doc, it looks like "extractIcon" *should* work, for DLL, EXE
or ICO files.
