Getting the shell icon for folder...

Hi all!

I am writing an application, when I need to use for a TreeView, icons used by explorer for directory & also the icons for different file type displayed within explorer.

Thanks for your time,

Have a look at IShellIcon::GetIconOf
and other IShellIcon methods.

Thanks for the reply VictorN & also for understanding my post :D. One additional question, the icon returned from the method you mentioned is an HICON, but for the TreeView/Ctrl, I need to populate the Imagelist, and that expects bmp I believe. Do I need to convert it somehow from icon to bmp??? or I can use icon. Sorry if it's too obvious, I've always used bmps with ImageLists.

Thanks for your time,
Regards,
Usman.

From MSDN:

Quote:

---

CImageList::Add
int Add( CBitmap* pbmImage, CBitmap* pbmMask );

int Add( CBitmap* pbmImage, COLORREF crMask );

int Add( HICON hIcon );

So you don't need to convert anything. ;)

PS. If you don't use MFC - then use ImageList_AddIcon macro.

super!
