Loading icons from a .exe file or .lnk

[Guest spacemonkey]

I'm writing a program that needs to list various files on the smartphone and display their icons. However I am a bit stuck on how to load the icon from the .exe files.

I use the following code, but when I check through the debugger nIcons is always 0 and hIcon, phiconLarge and phiconSmall are all NULL.

The file string is pointing to a valid file and has the form 'Storage CardProgram FilesC2Gapitest.exe' or what have you.

Any help would be most appreciated.

HICON phiconSmall;


HICON phiconLarge;


HICON hIcon


	get_first_dir_element();


	while (current_dir_element != NULL) {


  int nIcons = (int)ExtractIconEx(current_dir_element->fullpath, -1, NULL, NULL, 0);


  hIcon = ExtractIconEx(current_dir_element->fullpath, 1, &phiconLarge, &phiconSmall, 1);


  if (hIcon != NULL) {


 	 m_imageList.AddIcon(hIcon);


 	 DestroyIcon(hIcon);


 	 iconCur++;


  }


  get_next_dir_element();
