I've got a post in borland.public.cppbuilder.attachments with the same 
subject line as this, and Bob Gonder suggested that I post my question here. 
This is my first time posting in the nativeapi group, so please be nice.  :)

In that attachment is a simple project that populates a TListView with files 
and folders.  What is unique about it is the way it uses system icons on the 
items: Everything gets the same icon that Windows has registered for it.

It was simple enough to copy the technique, but I want to extend it to files 
*not* located on my PC (i.e. files over a network).

I want to say, "Give me my PC's default Windows icon for a .cpp, .doc, .pdf, 
.jpg, etc."  I want the icon that my PC has registered for that particular 
type of file to appear in a TListView.

I have been trying to step through the code in the attachments area 
(news:440d9a95@newsgroups.borland.com) to find out where icons are assigned 
and how they are obtained, but it looks like the example starts with a call 
to SHGetDesktopFolder(LPSHELLFOLDER x).

I tried calling:

SHGetFileInfo(strFilename, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, &fileInfo, 
sizeof(SHFILEINFO), SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES)

...but I don't understand what to assign the fileInfo.iIcon parameter to 
(TListView->Items->ImageIndex = fileInfo.iIcon?) or when to insert it 
(OnCustomDrawItem?).

Thanks in advance for your help.
