Need icons for ListView control

[Dejvi]

How to get an icon (for .exe .ico .pif .lnk file) or to use default icon for the type of file requested and then to insert that icon in ListView control.

I don't fully understand you but tou can get icons by extracting them from files which contain them:

'This project needs a PictureBox, called 'Picture1'

'In general section
Private Declare Function DrawIcon Lib "user32" Alias "DrawIcon" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal hIcon As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ExtractIcon Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ExtractIconA" (ByVal hInst As Long, ByVal lpszExeFileName As String, ByVal nIconIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long


Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Path as String, strSave as string
'Create a buffer string
strSave = String(200, Chr$(0))
'Get the windows directory and append '\REGEdit.exe' to it
Path = Left$(strSave, GetWindowsDirectory(strSave, Len(strSave))) + "\REGEdit.exe"
'No pictures
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture()
'Set graphicmode to 'persistent
Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
'Extract the icon from REGEdit
return1& = ExtractIcon(Me.hWnd, Path, 2)
'Draw the icon on the form
return2& = DrawIcon(Picture1.hdc, 0, 0, return1&)
End Sub

What I want is to insert an icon that isn't in an ImageList into a ListView control, preferably an icon of a executable file or any other.
