How to fetch system stadard icons (for cut, copy, paste ...)? [message #458681] Tue, 19 July 2005 08:20 Go to next message

Hi,

we are searching for a way to fetch the system standard icons for
certain operations like cut, copy, paste and if possible for a
folder/directory etc.

So we want to get the icon like it would be displayed in windows
explorer, gnome's nautilus and so on.

I have not found any hint on how to achieve this. Can anyone of you help?

TIA

Christian

See getSystemImage() method in Display class.

Afaik that does only cover system icons for Error, Information,
Question, Warning and Working as defined in SWT Constants.

Another way to retrieve some OS Icons is using

Program.getImageData()

That was what I learned as well ... it is only for standard dialog icons :-(

I don't think, that will do it. Afaik Program.getImageData() only gets
icons for filetypes that they are associated with (like an X-icon for
*.xls files, the winamp symbol for *.mp3 and so on)

What I was actually searching for, is a way to get the standard icons
for system operations like cut, copy, paste, ... (The icons that are
displayed in the toolbar in windows explorer for example. But - as they
are standard icons - they are also shown in the toolbar in MS-Word,
Excel etc.)

I think these icons are stored in system32.dll under windows, but of
course simply extracting them from there is no option, since I want to
have the icons, that are standard for a certain platform. Under Linux
for example, I want gnome's icons to be diplayed.

Hope you understand what I mean ...

Any further hints?

Christian

So if I interpret this correctly, there is currently no way to achieve
this by simple SWT means? Does anyone know of any extra library that
might be of help?
