feature -- Access

			--
			-- Note: debug option "WEL_GDI_COUNT" should be enabled, otherwise
			-- this function will return zero.
			-- (from WEL_GDI_ANY)

			-- Generic Windows handle or structure pointer.
			-- Can be a HWND, HICON, RECT *, WNDCLASS *, etc...
			-- (from WEL_ANY)
	
feature -- Status report

	Exists: BOOLEAN is True
			-- A null icon always exists.

	shared: BOOLEAN
			-- Is item shared by another object?
			-- If False (by default), item will
			-- be destroyed by destroy_item.
			-- If True, item will not be destroyed.
			-- (from WEL_ANY)
	
feature -- Status setting

			-- Delete the current gdi object
			-- (from WEL_GRAPHICAL_RESOURCE)
		require -- from WEL_REFERENCE_TRACKABLE
			reference_not_tracked: not reference_tracked

			not_exists: not exists

	dispose
			-- Destroy the inner structure of Current.
			--
