Get icon from every filetype

[Noobster24]

Hi,

when you explore your computer with Windows Explorer, you'll notice that almost every file (with a certain filetype) has is icon.

Now my problem:

I have a $listview, I use a combination of For and _FileListToArray() to ouput the files and directories in a certain directory / on a certain drive. I use GuiCtrlSetImage() to put an image in the listview, but this doesn't show me an image file of that file:

GUICtrlSetImage (-1, $location & $filearray[$i]) ;for instance d:\games\myblablafile.php

How can I put the icon of every filetype in the listview? (If it's a .doc-file show the M$ Word icon, if it's Adobe Photoshop 2, show that icon etc.)

Anyone got an idea?

I added a screen to clear things up..

This is better:

GUICtrlSetImage (-1, "D:\games\call of duty 2\cod2_mp.exe", 1)

Hi thanks for the reply, but my explanation sucked. Take a lot at the screenshot in my first post.

It shows the icons of certain files (like bmp & exe), but no icons of .cfg or .php etc. (But in Windows Explorer it does..)

Something like this:

but then so than I can use it in Autoit.

Hi,

Check this example (the functions _FileGetType() and _FileGetIcon isn't mine (sorry, but i can't remember ho's), i just change them a litle):

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$FileFolderFullPath = @ScriptFullPath

GUICreate("Get File/Folder Type & Icon", 300, 150)

$GetIcoArr = _FileGetIcon($FileFolderFullPath)

GUICtrlCreateButton("", 130, 50, 32, 32, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, $GetIcoArr[1], $GetIcoArr[2], 0)

GUICtrlCreateLabel(_FileGetType($FileFolderFullPath), 75, 90, 140, 20, $SS_CENTER)
