FileIconInit ...cant call directly?

[xandaz]

   How is it done?

FileIconInit is not included in a header file. You must call it directly from Shell32.dll, using ordinal 660.

has anyonne done this?

   oh yeah... GetProcAddress. ooops thanks

[xandaz]

how about SHGetImageList? anyone ever used it? i'm having trouble declaring that GUID. I've seen this form on the web.

Code Select Expand

IID_IImageList TGUID <46EB5926h,582Eh,4017h,9FDFh,0E8998DAA0950h> but it shows too much initial values. Aaarg,

Faiseur asked the same question - and got no reply...
No C++ code around? PowerBasic maybe?

The last two numbers are actually a byte array.

   yeah yuri. took a while to understand how to declare to GUID correctly. The answer is of course:

Code Select Expand


invoke GetModuleHandle,str$("Shell32")
invoke GetProcAddress,eax
call eax
ty guys and regs

[xandaz]

oops.

Code Select Expand

GetProcAddress,eax,660
sorry typo forgetful mind

chr$("Shell32") might work even better ;-)

  hi... sorry for replying so late. Im a little past that. And sorry for the str$ - i dont really use those macros. i kinda guessed from my BASIC memories.
