Geting Icons From Shell VC++

SHGetFileInfo function Retrieves information about an object in the file system, such as a file, folder,directory, or drive root.

With the help of this function we can Get Shell Icon from local system.

Example Source:

#include "shellapi.h" HICON GetSmallIconFromShell(const CString& strExtension) {        HICON hIcon = NULL;        //Fill with 0        SHFILEINFO psfi = {0};        DWORD_PTR ptr = SHGetFileInfo(strExtension,NULL, &psfi,sizeof( psfi ), SHGFI_TYPENAME | SHGFI_ICON |SHGFI_SMALLICON |SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES);        if( NULL != ptr)        {               hIcon = psfi.hIcon;        }        return hIcon; }

For inserting into image list nImageIndex = m_pTreeImageList->Add(GetSmallIconFromShell(_T(“.Sen”)));
