Get icon for a listview

[PioRey]

Hi to all,

Just want to ask if anyone knows how to get the icon from a listview? I've attached the file in here.

The image has a listview which has an icon on a column, how will I be able to get that icon and put it into another listview within the application?

appreciate any help I can get..

Thanks.

I think the question is a little confusing, or lacking context... have you looked at _GUIImageList_GetIcon() ?

I think the question is a little confusing, or lacking context... have you looked at _GUIImageList_GetIcon() ?

...after using _GUICtrlListView_GetImageList() to get the image list handle for use in _GUIImageList_GetIcon().

Can you post a sample script to start with? Thanks.

Take a look at the examples for _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList and _GUIImageList_AddIcon in the UDF help-file.

Hi, tried that functions but what I need is get the icons used from a Listview control in the external app.

I've used this functions and seems not working for me

; returns the ImageList used on the Listview control on the external app

$hImageList = _GUICtrlListView_GetImageList($hListview, 0)

; Try this one and returns 0??? Why?

_GUIImageList_GetImageCount($hImageList)

Thanks.

Never tried that, maybe _GUIImageList_Duplicate() works, where $hWnd is the handle of the source listview. Then use _GUIImageList_GetIcon() to extract the needed icons.

Tried that one but no luck. I've used the _GUICtrlListView_GetImageList and it returns the handle value but using the _GUIImageList_GetImageCount it returns 0, can you please help me? Thanks.

Here's your belated chastisement for double-posting...

As posted in the other topic, my attempt at a demo reading the icon details from an explorer window's listview failed in similar fashion. This makes me wonder if you can do this with a listview not owned by your script's process.
