Retrieves the icon index from the system image list that is associated with a folder item.

Syntax

int SHMapPIDLToSystemImageListIndex(
  [in]            IShellFolder    *pshf,
  [in]            PCUITEMID_CHILD pidl,
  [out, optional] int             *piIndexSel
);

Parameters

Type: IShellFolder*

An IShellFolder interface pointer for the folder that contains the item.

[in] pidl

Type: PCUITEMID_CHILD

A pointer to the item's ITEMIDLIST structure.

[out, optional] piIndexSel

Type: int*

A pointer to an int that, when this function returns successfully, receives the index of the item's open icon in the system image list. If the item does not have a special open icon then the index of its normal icon is returned. If the open icon exists and cannot be obtained, then the value pointed to by piIndex is set to -1. This parameter can be NULL if the calling application is not interested in the open icon.

Return value

Type: int

Returns the index of the item's normal icon in the system image list if successful, or -1 otherwise.
