B4J Question How do I get the icon image of a file based on its extension and save it?

[Mashiane]

Hi there

How can I get the icon image of a file and save it?

For example, if my file is in c:\docs\document.docx, how can I get the icon for the docx as saved in my computer?

Thanks a lot.

Hi!

I only found this way:

    Dim jo As JavaObject
    jo.InitializeStatic("javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView")
   
    Dim joFile As JavaObject
    joFile.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File",Array("pathToFileAndFile"))
   
    Dim joSwing As JavaObject
    joSwing.InitializeStatic("javafx.embed.swing.SwingFXUtils")
   
    Dim ic As JavaObject = jo.RunMethodjo("getFileSystemView",Null).RunMethodJO("getSystemIcon",Array(joFile))
    Dim im As Image = joSwing.RunMethod("toFXImage",Array(ic.RunMethod("getImage",Null),Null))
   
    ImageView1.SetImage(im)

Have you tested this code on a Mac to make sure it works not only on a PC?

How to initialize it? (JDK 9.0.4)
