MAX: How to display icons (blob) in VB

Question

Hi!
I've written a VB application which gets some information from MAX. It works very well, but I was wondering how to display the icons (stored as blob). Who can help me? Thank you in advance!!
here is a piece of my code:
Dim maxConf As mxConfiguration
Dim maxItems As mxItems
Dim maxItemAttribute As ImxItemAttribute
Set maxConf = New MXCTRLLib.mxConfiguration
maxConf.Initialize ("Local")
Set maxItems = maxConf.EnumItems("CAT=Software,ALL")
Set maxItemAttribute = maxItems.Item(ItemsListBox.ListIndex).EnumItemAttributes.Item(AttributesListBox.ListIndex)
Select Case maxItemAttribute.AttributeType
Case "Blob"
'here, I want to display the icon and I need your help!
Case Else
ListBox1.AddItem (maxItemAttribute.AttributeValue)
end select

I will try this when I get back home - travelling at the moment.
A bit more background....... I have a Function that is called to produce a yearly calendar view of rentals for a home, along with the rental prices - this has already been written using the as_pdf3 package, which can either physically create the report on the server (using utl_file), or it can return the blob direct.
On the screen, the user can select the years that they wish to see in the report, push a button which will pass the parameters into the above said function, and then launch the "blob" in another window (as the blob is PDF format, it would launch the users PDF reader) - if the user then wants to save the report, they can do (using PDF reader) - this avoids me a) saving and housekeeping a file(s) on the server, b) I don't have to enable utl_file for the schema
