Run-time icon: Lost in CreateIconIndirect

[Lobotomy]

Hello scary binary people,

I'm trying to create a memory bitmap and convert it to icon format. While I understand what needs to be done (CreateCompatibleDC, CreateCompatibleBitmap for XOR and AND parts, draw on both, combine and CreateIconIndirect), I'm totally lost in realization -- there are just too many ways to make an error for a no new guy.

Does anyone have a sample or at least a scetch to learn?

Thank you for your time
