I'm lucky, I found ...

My Source :

   /from win32gui import *
   import win32con
   from pywintypes import HANDLE
    import win32ui  

   listHicon = ExtractIconEx("c:\OpenOffice.exe",0)
   tupleIcon = GetIconInfo (HANDLE ( listHicon[0][0] ) )

   bitmapColor = tupel [4]

    picture = win32ui.CreateBitmap()
   buffer = picture.GetBitmapBits ( bitmapColor )
/


Python return :
/win32ui.error: GetObject failed on bitmap/
for the last line


win32ui have CreateBitmap with 0 argument and GetBitmapBits with 1 arguments
but win32gui have CreateBitmap with 5 arguments and GetBitmapBits have 2 
arguments

With win32gui, the two last line will be :

   / picture = CreateBitmap(tupel[1],tupel[2],1, 256, None)
    buffer = picture.GetBitmapBits( bitmapColor, 32)
/
but picture will be an pyHANDLE and i can't use GetBitmapBits ...


I need take Stringbit for write it on file to display on the website 
(bmp, jpeg, ...).


On the demo, hicon is use ton create the variable nid and re use it to 
display on the screen, but i want get only the bitmap bits.


Thanks
