Retrieve Icons Associated To An Extension?

[andrea.gavana]

Hello NG,

I have searched everyweher, and I am not able to find a solution...
basically, I am constructing a GUI with wxPython, in which I have a list.
In this list control, I have some file. I would like to associate (to every
file) its icon (on Windows). I have searched about the use of Mark
Hammond's win32all extensions and also ctypes, but I didn't find a
solution. Could anyone please provide a very simple example on how to
retrieve an icon associated to a file extension on Windows?

Thank you a lot.

Andrea.

Check out MimeTypesManager in the wxPython demo app (under More
Windows/Controls). That seems to do what you want..
