Hi,
Use shgetfileinfo to get them. Here a listview control to the form
and name it lv. Here is an example.
Private Function getLocalIcons(ByVal szFolderPath As String)
Dim dirInfo As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(szFolderPath)
Dim di As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo
Dim lvitem As ListViewItem
Dim hIcon As Icon
Dim cIcon As New clsGetIcon
Dim htIcons As New Hashtable
Dim intIndex As Integer
imlIcon.Images.Clear()
lv.Items.Clear()
lv.SmallImageList = imlIcon
For Each di In dirInfo.GetDirectories()
lvitem = lv.Items.Add(di.Name)
hIcon = cIcon.getIcon(di.FullName)
If htIcons.ContainsKey(hIcon) Then
intIndex = htIcons(hIcon)
Else
imlIcon.Images.Add(hIcon.ToBitmap)
intIndex = imlIcon.Images.Count - 1
End If
lvitem.ImageIndex = intIndex
Next
For Each fi In dirInfo.GetFiles()
lvitem = lv.Items.Add(fi.Name)
hIcon = cIcon.getIcon(fi.FullName)
If htIcons.ContainsKey(hIcon) Then
intIndex = htIcons(hIcon)
Else
imlIcon.Images.Add(hIcon.ToBitmap)
intIndex = imlIcon.Images.Count - 1
End If
lvitem.ImageIndex = intIndex
Next
End Function
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lv.SuspendLayout()
getLocalIcons("C:\")
lv.ResumeLayout()
End Sub
The helper class.

hi all,
is there a way to show the icons of a file, used by the system in a
listview.
now i have something like:
Private Sub AddFiles(ByVal nod As TreeNode)
Dim strPath As String = nod.FullPath
Dim strFile As String
With nod
For Each strFile In Directory.GetFiles(strPath)
With nod.Nodes.Add(Path.GetFileName(strFile))
..Tag = ItemType.File
..ImageIndex = 3
End With
Next
End With
End Sub
kind regards,
Maarten
