icon changes with change of extension
when we change the extension of a file in windows, its icon also changes..... how does windows do tht. in my application i require a similar approach. i want the icon to be dependent on the file extension not on the attributes of the file. i have gone trough the registry but things are not very clear. Windows has listed all the file extensions avaliable there, but there is no general way to extract icons for those extension... kindly help icon changes with change of extension

Extensions are listed in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section of the registry where they are mapped onto document types. Document types are also listed there and the information about the icon is one of the entries. So eg (if NotePat is your standard .txt handling program) .txt will be mapped onto txtfile and the txtfile\DefaultIcon entry will tell windows where to find the icon. The entry includes a file whose resources hold the icon and in index telling it which icon in those resources it is.

dave1Take a look at the thread "Displaying Windows icons in ListBox". The same approach can be applied to your code. AliR.

Change bkgnd colour for some words in CRichEditCtrl?
I'd like to be able to change the background colour for some of the text in a CRichEditCtrl. I'm comparing two files side-by-side in these controls and need to be able to highlight some text to illustrate the results. I could just change the text colour and make the font bold and/or larger, but highlighting similar to when text is selected would stand out better, especially if I could also change the text colour to suit.
