1. Icon resolution in ListView
- Posted by cafromsw at yahoo.com
Jan 08, 2003
Hello my name is Chris I am fairly new to Euphoria and
brand new to this list. I have been searching the
archives (excellent tool btw) for a while to answer my
questions but this one has me stumped. I have
extracted the first icon from shell32.dll to use in a
ListView
ic = addIcon( extractIcon( {"shell32.dll", 1} ) )
I believe this is the default icon Windows uses if it
doesn't know a file type. The problem is that the
icon looks 'washed out' kind of fuzzy or low
resolution. When I display my ListView and compare
the icon to the icon Windows displays in an Explorer
window set to View Details the Windows icon is crisper
with more detail/color. This is true for all of the
ListView demos and programs that I tried. Does anyone
else have this problem? I am using win32lib 0.57.9,
Judith's IDE 15 on WinME. An interesting side note is
that if I use loadLVInfo() every row gets the first
icon I added/extracted. Anyway thanks in advance, I
have already a condiderable amount just from reading
this list. Chris

hi Chris,
I cannot replicate you're problem as here everything works out just
fine. what listview style is being used? Try using LVS_ICON on its own.
Also the shell provides up to 65 icons, so try changing the 1 to
anyvalue in between.
ic = addIcon( extractIcon( {"shell32.dll", 8} ) )

As soon as I hit send I knew I left some information
out. I created the ListView with
LVS_REPORT,LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS and add the extended
attribute LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT. It doesn't seem to
matter which icon I pull from shell32.dll or even if I
use one of the sample icons from the win32lib\demo
directory 'disks04.ico' they all have the same
appearance. I did notice that opening a
getOpenFileName dialogue and changing it's view to
'detail' shows the icons correctly on my system.
