If the icon handle is obtained from an executable file, the function stores the icon’s identifier in the WORD pointed to by lpiIcon. |
If the function succeeds, the return value is an icon handle. If the icon is extracted from an associated executable file, the function stores the full path and filename of the executable file in the string pointed to by lpIconPath, and stores the icon’s identifier in the WORD pointed to by lpiIcon.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. |
