Icons

[Johan Karlsson]

Hi,

Do you know how i can get the correct icon of directories and the corect icons of drives with PowerBasic, code ?

I will create a TreeView like Explorer, but i don´t know how i can get the
icons for drives and folder...

Help me please..

Yup, use #4 and 5 from SHELL32.DLL
Global hFolderIcon as long


local z as Asciiz * 255
Local hLib as long

[code]
z = "SHELL32.DLL"
hLib = LoadLibrary(z)
If hLib Then
hFolderIcon = LoadCursor(hLib, ByVal 4) 'Closed, use 5 for Open folder
FreeLibrary hLib
End If
[code]

Scott

Or you can get the whole image list...

' Get the handle to the system's small icon imagelist and assign it to the
' TreeView. We will set the Node image indices directly in InsertFolder.
 
Call TreeView_SetImageList(hwndTV, GetSystemImagelist(%SHGFI_SMALLICON), %TVSIL_NORMAL)

HTH

Sorry Folks! Once again, I supplied invalid information. The
call above is not an API call! It is a user defined function
that was included with a Visual Basic example. Funny nobody
questioned it.

One comment about Scotts method, it would be possible to get
different Icons if future DLL's shuffled the Icons around. It
would be better to use an Icon extractor to get your Drive/folder Icons and then put them in your resource file. I
pulled out about 1000 Icons from Shell32.DLL. Icons 4 and 5 are
the larger Icons. You probably want the smaller ones if you are
building an Explorer type program.

Johan, I am converting some C code that is like the Explorer. But
I don't have any real directory tree, just dummy sample tree.

Have you completed this task yet?
