Title: Displaying an application associated icons
Question: How do I display the icon that is associated with a given file
type?
Answer:
Use the ShellApi function ExtractAssociatedIcon() to retrieve the
icon that is associated with the file.
Example:
uses ShellApi;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Icon : hIcon;
IconIndex : word;
begin
IconIndex := 1;
Icon := ExtractAssociatedIcon(HInstance,
Application.ExeName,
IconIndex);
DrawIcon(Canvas.Handle, 10, 10, Icon);
end;
