queensoft Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I need to display custom overlays for specific files. NOT file types.Example: folder with 100 JPG files.Choose files based on file name, choose how many file you want:- 5 files - display green checkmark overlay- 10 files - display red X- the other files - display default icon, no overlayOf course, overlay should be dynamic, change icon (checkmark, X) and change files whenever I want. Right click on a file is the method to change overlay, this is not a problem.I can create icons, I can add the right click menus, I just need to add registry settings and figure out how to display the overlays on certain files.I do not have any AutoIt code right now, I just found these helpful pages/info:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiersThis is the registry key where settings are saved. I know there's a maximum of 15, this is not a problem.IShellIconOverlayIdentifier interfaceThis is the main option to use: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb761265(v=vs.85).aspxIsMemberOfI think this identifies the files to display certain overlay: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb761267(v=vs.85).aspxHow do I put this all together using AutoIt ?
