Extracting associated file icons

Hi,

I know that the VW developers must have difficult times to transform DSV into Grid but if there is some time less or if they’re in lack of ideas they might have time to integrate this VB or C# feature?

On Apple that would probably start somewhere here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Reference/QLThumbnailRequest_Ref/Reference/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/QLThumbnailRequestSetImage

Dropping a file into your application I love that,...Having it shown with the right icon that is really cool !

Rgrds,

@+Maarten,

Rgrds,

 

@+Maarten,

Thanks Steve and Mark for the tips.

Unfortunately DLCC is not yet in my scope of knowledge, I tried to do something with the following methods in the windows goodie but I’m incapable of filling in the right things.  They keep on giving me errors like External Object Not Found or handle error.

ExtractAssociatedIcon: hInst with: lpIconPath with: lpiIcon

            <C: HICON ExtractAssociatedIcon(HINSTANCE hInst, LPTSTR lpIconPath, LPWORD lpiIcon)>

            ^self externalAccessFailedWith: _errorCode

CreateIcon: hInstance with: nWidth with: nHeight with: cPlanes with: cBitsPixel with: lpbANDbits with: lpbXORbits

            <C: HICON CreateIcon(HINSTANCE hInstance, int nWidth, int nHeight, BYTE cPlanes, BYTE cBitsPixel, const BYTE *lpbANDbits,  const BYTE *lpbXORbits)>

            ^self externalAccessFailedWith: _errorCode

Rgrds,

Maarten,
