The reason I wanted the sample is that I didnt know what to do when:<br />
SHGetFileInfo(FileName, 0, &amp;sfi, sizeof(sfi), SHGFI_TYPENAME);<br />
returns an empty string for the type. I thought to overcome it by adding to the extention of the file the word: &quot;FILE&quot;, but then I thought that I will have location problem (my explorer will not seems nice in japaneese computer for example...).<br />
But I see that MFC sample do the same !!!<br />
How this can be ?<br />

Hi,<br />
Can someone direct me to an explorer-like sample which uses CListCtrl and fill the list as the explorer does (filename, size, type etc.)<br />
I tried to do this myself, but I have difficulties in getting the file type. I tried to use:<br />
<br />
SHGetFileInfo(FileName, 0, &amp;sfi, sizeof(sfi), SHGFI_TYPENAME);<br />
<br />
but there are some types of files which the szTypeName field of SHFILEINFO return as empty string though I can see that the explorer show the type of the file.<br />
A sample code of an explorer will realy help...<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />
Yoav.<br />

Explorer-like sample or SHGetFileInfo GetType question
