How can I show an extracted icon on a button

[georg59]

My problem is, I like to create an icon that starts on click event a document with the associated application. With ExtractAssociatedIcon I can extract the icon and with DrawIcon I can show it on the form. Is there any way to show this icon on a button "on the fly"?
Thanks for all answers...

Hello Chris, hello Ramani,
thanks for your very fast answers, but unfortunately they don't solve my problem. It is, that I havn't this icon as a file but as an icon handle get by ExtractAssosiatedIcon function.

'with DrawIcon I can show it on the form'

Could you not use a transparent shape with a curvature of say 9, place the shape over the icon with .ZOrder(0) and then use the .Click() event of the shape to fire whatever you need?
