Need to always display the correct icon in a TreeView, ListView etc. when dealing with files like Foo.xls or ExtraFoo.doc, just like Windows-Explorer does? Want to know name and path of the executable that is associated to SuperFoo.xml? Yes, then IconBuddy will be Your friend. It extracts large and small icons from files or their associated executables, returning You and object-reference that can directly be handed over to an ImageList-control. Also tells You what as specific fileType is called by Windows Explorer (e.g. "Microsoft Excel SpreadSheet"). Small custom class that comes with a sample SCX as well as CHM-Help file
