Yep, well for an indirected icon anyway.

What you do is get the address of the icon contents. If this address is
greater than &1800000 then you know it's in RMA and thus can be accessed
directly. If it is not then it is inside an application. So what you have
to do is grab the memory from the application withe the SWI call

"Wimp_TransferBlock"


Hope this is of some help.

Anyone managed to get Pinboard to stop iconizing windows ie by
broadcasting Message_WindowInfo with a window handle of 0. I want
to know if it's my program or Acorn's that is at fault.

Also the RO3 docs state that the message WindowClosed gets passed around
whenevr a window is closed so why can't I find it being passed around ?
