As others have said, GDI objects are not shared between processes. GDI 
objects are DCs, regions, bitmaps, palettes, fonts, and brushes. I 
assumed that they were shared, because icons are shared, but they are a 
user32 object.

You'll have to write a test to see whether Windows allows you to 
retrieve and use the bitmap for a menu from another process.
