Icons
-
I have a database in which users can upload files for storage and whatnot. In my windows forms app to download/upload I am displaying the files that the user has uploaded. In the ListView I would like to display the appropriate icon for each file. ex: If they have Microsoft Word installed, it should display a Microsoft Word icon. If not just a plain file icon should be displayed. How would I do this? Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps you could call
SHGetFileInfoto obtain the file's icon index in the system image list (as well as its display name, eg: "Microsoft Word document"). You can pass a fictitious filename (with a matching extension) toSHGetFileInfo.
