At least with V12 I had to get the icon handle (passing in an icon id) and then copy the icon because I was getting a glyph (Oleg posted the fact that with V12 you have to copy the icon and it is mentioned in the release notes.) But once I got it, the background was black. I needed a bitmap so I had to create a compatible dc, fill it with the background I wanted and then draw the icon into the dc. Then I simply pulled the bitmap from the dc. So what you need to do depends on what you really want, an icon or a bitmap and what you want to do with it.
