Extract custom folder image

[picea892 6]

Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for any help people can provide. I have found the traditional ways I have used to extract icons from Exe's to place in a listview did not work for a custom folder icon. This includes the _GUIImageList_AddIcon method.

Below is a script fragment which serves my purpose but not in a streamlined fashion. The script was posted by

I save the icon as a bmp and use _GUIImageList_AddBitmap to put the picture into my listview.

Can someone help me modify this so I can use _GUIImageList_Add and skip the step of saving it as an .bmp prior to adding to an imagelist?

Does anyone know of a different method to do this?

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

And use the _GUIImageList_ReplaceIcon() function to add HICON.

Thanks Yashied.

You never cease to amaze me with your udfs. Icons, Winapiex, colourpicker.

I now have all three in my script!

My slightly tweaked code...for all those who follow.

AddIcon($hImage, $sections[$i][1])
Func AddIcon($hWnd, $sFile)
;Global Const $STM_SETIMAGE = 0x0172
$tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagSHFILEINFO)
_WinAPI_ShellGetFileInfo($sFile, BitOR($SHGFI_ICON, $SHGFI_LARGEICON), 0, $tInfo)
$hIcon = DllStructGetData($tInfo, 'hIcon')
_WinAPI_Destroyicon(_GUIImageList_ReplaceIcon($hWnd, -1, $hIcon))
EndFunc
