Mark,

first of all, thank you for your reply.
When i saw the code serializing handle my reaction was same as yours.
However if you take a look at the MFC's serialize_ex.cpp there is a
operator
overload for archiving icons:

hmm...I can't find that overload in either MFC 8 (VS 2005) or MFC 9 (VS
2008)...

In fact, "HICON" is no found anywhere in the header file (afx.h) that
declares the CArchive class.

I can't find a "serialize_ex.cpp" file either. Where is it located?

I'm confused :)

CArchive& operator<<(CArchive &ar, const HICON &hIcon)
{
ICONINFO info;

BOOL bResult = ::GetIconInfo(hIcon,&info);
if( !bResult )
{
DWORD dwError = ::GetLastError();
CString s;
s.Format(_T("Error: %d\n"),dwError);
::OutputDebugString(s);

ASSERT(FALSE);
}

ar << info.fIcon;
   ar << info.xHotspot;
   ar << info.yHotspot;
   ar << info.hbmMask;
   ar << info.hbmColor;

return ar;
}

Hence I'm pretty sure ar << m_hIcon should work.
