getting ordinal icon from shell32.dll to use on form

[ChillyWilly]

trying to load and use the icons inside shell32.dll to use on my form instead of loading them from a resource

Code Select Expand

invoke GetModuleHandle,CTEXT("c:\windows\system32\Shell32.DLL")
invoke GetProcAddress,eax,160                                                    ;160 should be the "run" icon
invoke Shell_GetImageLists,offset hSysImlLarge,offset hSysImlSmall


   

now how do i call SHGetFileInfo to pull the small icon from the dll ?

invoke SHGetFileInfo,CTEXT("c:\windows\system32\Shell32.DLL"),0,addr sfi,\
sizeof SHFILEINFO,SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX or SHGFI_ICON or SHGFI_SMALLICON
INVOKE SendDlgItemMessage,hWin,1015,STM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,sfi.SHFILEINFO.hIcon   

something like that gets me the dll's icon , im looking to get the smallest icon from the icon in the shell32.dll

i did it for the exes, but i need folder icons and the run icon for my app

thanx  :U i do tech work and some of it involves removing spyware so i made this to help a little


i think that link is for only loading a bmp image in the toolbar

If you're just looking for a single icon, why bother with loading the image lists ? Just use LoadImage...

Code Select Expand

invoke GetModuleHandle,CTEXT("c:\windows\system32\Shell32.DLL")
invoke LoadImage, eax, 160, IMAGE_ICON, NULL, NULL, LR_SHARED
mov [hIcon],eax

Note that you should always use the LR_SHARED flag when using images from system files.

For an example of using the system image lists you can look at my WinExplorer example on my website.

awesome i just found your site earlier and downloaded it

Code Select Expand

invoke GetModuleHandle,CTEXT("c:\windows\system32\Shell32.DLL")
invoke LoadImage, eax, 160, IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_SHARED
INVOKE SendDlgItemMessage,hWin,1015,STM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON,eax
works like a charm  :dance:

quick question if i had an icon as a resource in my program and wantedto loadit the same way would i use
   invoke   LoadIcon,hInstance,300
       invoke SendDlgItemMessage,hWin,1022,STM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON, eax

is there any way to allow me to choose to size it 16x16 small

[ChillyWilly]

ah i figured it out  :U

Code Select Expand

invoke LoadImage, hInstance, 300, IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_SHARED
mov [win],eax
       INVOKE SendDlgItemMessage,hWin,1023,STM_SETIMAGE,IMAGE_ICON, [win]
