And now I'm even more baffled... I just looked at Philippe's new mods to
midi_server, and he does almost *exactly* what I tried, except that he
is using GetVectorIcon locally (on the same rdef data), and apparently
it works just as I thought it would! (He puts the raw data into the
message, too, just as I was, but it isn't actually used by anyone else
yet.)
I suppose I did something stupid, but I checked that what I was receiving
in the message appeared to be correct. I'll reinvestigate tomorrow.
(BTW, GetVectorIcon didn't actually say what I reported above -- it
gave two error messages [that I don't have handy) which seemed to indicate
-- with looking at the IconUtils source -- that it needed a flattened
message.)
