hello, i want to extract an exe icon and display it as a bitmap :

···

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import win32gui
import win32con
exefile = r'c:\file.exe'
iconHandle = win32gui.ExtractIcon(0,exefile,0)
icon = wx.EmptyIcon()
icon.SetHandle(iconHandle)
bmp = wx.BitmapFromIcon(icon)
wx.StaticBitmap(panel,bitmap=bmp,pos=(20,20))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but nothing appears on the panel, whats wrong? i printed iconHandle
and its a long int representing an icon handle,but what is missing?
thanks for your help....

Try something like this:

iloc = wx.IconLocation(exefile, 0)
icon = wx.IconFromLocation(iloc)
bmp = wx.BitmapFromIcon(icon)
