StockIcons for Windows Presentation Framework?

Windows Vista introduces a new native API that allows you to retrieve system-defined Shell icons: SHGetStockIconInfo. Those icons are stored in %SystemRoot%\System32\ImageRes.dll.

To understand that API documentation, I read About Icons again: last time was 15+ years ago (thank you Charles Petzold). Now, armed with that knowledge and the help of numerous knowledgeable people, I worked on a managed wrapper for WPF.

Once improved (i.e. caching), this should eventually make it into the VistaBridge samples (expand CrossTechnologySamples.zip, typically under %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Samples).

The icon identifier values below should be the correct ones once we release the Windows SDK. (See ShellApi.h)

Let me thank, in no particular order, these fellow Microsoft employees: Jeff Chrisope (time to update that blog Jeff!), Robert Wlodarczyk, Rusty Deschenes, Kerem Karatal, Ahsan Kabir, Anthony Hodsdon, Eric Stollnitz, Adam Smith, Rob Relyea, Peter Koen.

An example to start:

<Window x:Class="WPFTest.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

           Source="{vb:StockIcon Identifier=FolderOpen, Small=True, LinkOverlay=True, ShellSize=True}"/>

  </Grid>

</Window>

 

If as Charles Petzold, you prefer code:

 

public partial class Window1 : System.Windows.Window {

 

   public Window1() {

      InitializeComponent();

 

      // The Elvis way:

      StockIcon icon = new StockIcon();

      icon.Identifier = StockIconIdentifier.Drive525;

      icon.Small = true;

      icon.LinkOverlay = true;

      icon.Selected = true;

 

      Image image = new Image();

      image.Source = icon.Bitmap;

      image.Stretch = Stretch.None;

 

      TheGrid.Children.Add(image);

      Grid.SetRow(image, 3);

      Grid.SetColumn(image, 2);

 

      // The Einstein way:

      image = new Image();

      image.Source = new StockIcon(StockIconIdentifier.Drive35, StockIconOptions.LinkOverlay | StockIconOptions.Selected | StockIconOptions.Small).Bitmap;

      image.Stretch = Stretch.None;

 

      TheGrid.Children.Add(image);

      Grid.SetRow(image, 3);

      Grid.SetColumn(image, 3);

   }

}

 

And now the C# code behind the StockIcons static class and StockIcon markup extension class:

using System;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices; // too many types. Let's include the whole namespace

 

using Int32Rect = System.Windows.Int32Rect;

I recall needing/wanting to use some of the stock Windows Icons way back when. Stumbled across this blog
