How to get system icon for given file name extension

[BabaZaga]

I need a function that takes file-name extension as parameter and returns system icon (TIcon) associated with that file type. Just tell me how to get Icon from the system.

 

[FamWS]

There is a sample in Delphi 5 to retrieve the icon list from the system and get the imageindex for each file.

Please refer to ..\Delphi5\Demos\Virtual Listview.

After a quick search on Google (with the keywords: delphi extracting icon extension) I found this link:

It seems to be exactly what you are asking for.

Hope this helps!
