 displaying an application associated icons


How do I display the icon that is associated with a given file type?   

    Use the ShellApi function ExtractAssociatedIcon() to retrieve the icon that is associated with the file. Example:

    uses ShellApi;
    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      Icon : hIcon;
      IconIndex : word;
    begin
      IconIndex :=  ;
      Icon := ExtractAssociatedIcon(HInstance,
                                   Application.ExeName,
                                   IconIndex);
     DrawIcon(Canvas.Handle,  0,  0, Icon);
    end;
