Show a File's Associated Icon in a ListView - April 2003 - Tip of the Month

I have noted requests in news groups asking how to display a file's
associated icon in a ListView. Using work done by Brad Martinez
[http://www.mvps.org/btmtz/listview/], I developed code to use API
SHGetFileInfo to retrieve the icon and API ImageList_Draw to load the icon
into an ImageList. I recently revisited the code and decided to make it the
April 2003 tip-of-the-month.



To view the tip link to:

and look for the April 2003 tip of the month.
